Surf report 16 Monday 7 AM near 7-11
Typical summer wind chop. Knee to waist high and choppy with wind onshore. Tide is low. It's ridable, so I'm going out. 👍

Surf report - Thursday 12 May 7AM near 7-11
Knee high and choppy, wind is blowing onshore. Barely ridable. Will update later if conditions improve.
Update 9 AM - Tide going out and conditions improved a little. Caught a few waist high sets that made it worth going out.

1 guy with a tractor cleans 2 km of beach before sunrise.

This list is good for a laugh.
Sorry my fellow Gulf surfers, only Chaweng Beach on Koh Samui made the top 11.
But don't feel bad, Khao Lak did not make the top 11 either.

Felt just like surfing Kon Ao today.

For years I made the mistake of only surfing a 25 L pro model board. Surfing became a lot more fun after switching to a 45 L mid length. Good article about surfboard selection with videos of guys riding normal size boards.

Here’s the thing: you’re riding the wrong surfboard. The wrong surfboard, that is, if you have no surf contest trophies in your well-stocked boardroom, no sponsorship deals, less than six stickers top and bottom and only family and friends subscribing to your vlog. Forget what all the promo clip...

Small waves with a little rain this morning. Good day to learn for kids in the surf school.

Back in NJ for a few weeks. Big waves and big 7-11 coffee.
