I will defer all commentary on the size, conditions, wave count and type of charging to Moustachio Nelsen, as in my enthusiastic state, all measurements and impressions are likely to be exaggerated due to extreme stoke. As we all live and die by Surfline and their ability to predict South swells and shizer out all LA pointbreaks, Chadrico and I were able to plan this session a full 5 days in advance. We had full advanced knowledge of a large 20 second interval SW swell and picked Trestles as the spot for a Sneaker Cobb.
I arrived at his abode promptly at 6:45, as planned, to find him and Sam in an early morning soul hang. We headed down to trestles where Chad showed me components of his PhD thesis, including the laser counter of surfers as well as reviewing the official State Park sign which discourages logging at lowers. We had a nice eye check down the trail, actually, my third official eyecheck of the day...I had spoken to Leon and ARing on the way down. We finally made it to the beach and it was if we had stepped into the Garden of Logging Delight....Aframes as far as the eye could see. Interestingly, I did not see any other people on Logs, but I did see a number of people riding short boards who should have been logging. Needless to say a session of glory followed and we both left the session noodle armed, but still were able to strengthen up on the beach.
I eye in Joe Torre and Rich Harbour, I eye out Kobe.
Bring out the Cot, I'm ready for Y2!

This was the third day of a solid late season New Zealander that was long period and sizeable. While a bit smaller than the 1st day of the swell it was the cleanest and best day of them all. Muli-wave sets were still coming in at 2-3 overhead, with a few larger ones.
We began our session at Uppers where the Big Dipper was picking off some zipping lefts and I grabbed a few excellent rights. While padding back out I saw the best barrel ride I have ever seen at Uppers.
After an hour or so at Uppers when headed north to Cottons so DrT could sample some proper lefts. Despite being a bit flooded by the high tide there was still some fun waves coming through. Heavy T caught a solid one definitely a couple feet over his head (no Spector math factored into the equation).
Post session the BD commented that is was "a top 5 session in the last 24 months" - glad to be a part of it!
