SURF: 2-3 ft.+ knee to chest high and fair conditions.
This morning’s dawn patrol: Small, semi-clean lines in the waist-chest high range the occasional workable section.
Inconsistent, low energy waves this afternoon. I managed to pick off one nice ride from all the mush. Big score today was in sunshine. When we got to the beach the sun was out, skies were clear, just BEAUTIFUL all along the coast. I’m bummed I didn’t have my waterproof camera. I only snagged a shot of the hillside from my car. No photos of sunlit fog and surfer silhouettes, no shots of deep blue waves, no sand dunes. Next time!
What do you usually do with your camera out in the water (when you are not using it)? I haven’t found a decent solution yet. When I can trunk it, it’ll fit in my pocket, but my wetsuit has not pockets!
I have a float on the camera and a pretty long cord. I tie the cord to my zipper and put the camera down my back. It really only works on small mellow days.
On a bigger day or shorter period I’d be worried about smashing it back there (and hurting myself). It’s a pain to pull it out and put it back, but I haven’t found that many decent options with the wetsuit.
Surfgrrrl has tried out a few things.
