AS THEY TEND TO BECOME EVEN MORE SLIPPERY.

Be safe and smart out there. We will keep you updated with conditions as fast and as best we can. Today (thursday) was not too bad considering the coating we received. The early morning was the worst, I took Alan with me to report conditions on our DSF Facebook page …. See you on the beach.
Fish On!!
