South Southwest Swell and Northwest Combo swell

So its that time of the year...the time when the spring winds ruin conditions like a drunk uncle at a family function. But one good thing about my drunk uncle is that he supplies the hooch aaaaaaand this time of year we get leftover Northewest swell filling in with building south/southwest groundswell! I am so excited to go surf! After examining my quiver of boards I realize that a new summer stick is direly needed. Al Merrick makes some damn fine boards and after my second black beauty, the dumpster diver is the next logical purchase. Too bad its almost $700! Its a good thing paying full retail is not a belief of mine...
