Conditions: Bigger, Rougher Waves*
Gear: Rental foam board
Day Two of my surf class was Sunday April 27th, 9-Noon. Also with Adventure Out.
Day Two was when all the hard paddling from Day One (and all the rock climbing from the day before day one) finally caught up to me. Ow.
Owwww.
IÂ was exhausted, but happy. The waves were much harder to paddle out into, fewer lulls and a lot more whitewater. IÂ only caught three waves the whole day and didn’t get past kneeling on the board, but it was still fun. Hard work, but fun.
Injury report:Â I took a bit of an ambitious wave and fell. Underwater I could feel my leash go taught and IÂ knew the board was probably not someplace I wanted it to be. Sure enough when IÂ came to the surface, WHACK I got nailed with the board right in the face. Good thing IÂ was doing the safety head cover the instructors told us about or I’d probably have gotten a black eye.
*This day was prob more like 3-5 feet with a lot of wind and back to back sets. No real downtime and some tough waves to paddle through.
