Taking a paragraph out of my previous blog entry, I decided to paddle out at a time other than around sunrise or sunset.
There was a bit of a crowd at Wyoming and one approximating that at Colorado. I paddled out on the Gigante side of Colorado to try my luck there, as most of the pack was sitting at Colorado proper.
My first wave was a quick right. I managed to get a pump on the face of the wave which I quickly aborted and turned down. My nose dug in just barely but I was left standing.
I pulled back from many-a-closeout until my next wave. I swooped around the initial section and set my line, I was about to pump when out of the corner of my eye I saw the lip throwing over. I ducked down just in time and was shocked to see the spinning cylinder of the barrel. While hooting (inadvertently), and hearing the echo, I watched as the next section over threw over and then the one in front of it. If I was in there for over 1.5 seconds I'd be surprised.
Nothing else worth writing about came and I eventually went in after close to two hours in the water.
