    Good to know Swarmi's is just as crowded when it's big as it is when it's small.

      I'm your fan!!! I'm your admirer!!! I only have one sadness about you, that you throw your fans away like trash, I'm one of them, but still, I'm your fan!!! I have observed your journeys, trajectories and struggles, I reflect a lot on your strength, nothing is easy, but we need to move for things to happen, even with struggles and difficulties, problems, including: this is our motto: struggles and wars daily, that try to stop us from getting where we want, but we are insistent in everything, so that we can get there... of course, clinging to God, regardless of religious belief, this is the only way we can get there, that's it. It's all good!!! I'm your fan!!! May God bless you so much, always including your family!!! Happy Holidays, my friend from far away!!! Please don't throw me away!!! Here’s to 2024, with many victories and achievements!!! These are the wishes of your friend from afar: Rubenn Dean Paul Alws "Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro" Brazil!!! (Google/UA-cam)

    "A full yardsale" made me laugh out loud. Some things never change. I've been there getting hammered on the inside or trying to paddle out on a heavy day. Its sort of a self regulating wave at that point. Swami's where you will get dropped in on by 2 people at once and sort it out on the wave. The only way to surf Swami's is to paddle out while its still dark and get a couple of good ones before the horde shows up and make things really dangerous.

    When I used to visit SD, my buddy from CV loved to surf at The Campground. After subs in Carlsbad, on the way back South, we'd stop in the median at Swami's, to watch a few sets if there was a swell. Even when it was this good, I don't remember many solo rides. Either things have changed there a bit, or my brain damage is acting up again.
