Crowds can suck but I reckon the mood of the crowd is more of an issue and you can feel it from the carpark as soon as you get out of the car sometimes.
I have had some really good sessions with crowds that looked from a distance to much to handle and have been out with a small crowd and had a vibe that just ruins in.
I have also got into the habit of avoiding the early when I know its going to be good and going down later in the day have scored a few really good sessions around lunctime after the morning crew have mellowed or buggered off!
You just like it when someone talks to you. That hard up you even surf with kneelos.
Ohhhh friend, surfing friend.
General consensus, was today any good at the northern beaches? Last time I remember going up there with this size swell it couldn't cope. Was summer like closeouts, 5x the size.
Keen - but crook with a cough/cold atm... I'll see if I can get rid of the snot by then... but will prob stay local as it may be a short session after coughing a lung up 
nothing like nasal wash out to clear out the snot
take a few tumbles and all should be good
and the general lack of fitness that seems to hang over you following a cold...
was there a reasonable amount of shape though? or just drop-in-and-hope-not-to-be-smashed-by-a-closeout?
I tried everyone I knew for company today without luck so I ended up going on my own once again. This shark situation has really put a lot of people off. (Which really is understandable).
Not as big as last time but still lots of fun!
