Surf: Chest high, clean, peeling, lovely.
My brother came to visit for the weekend! 😀
After a fun weekend watching the world series and going to Halloween parties, I took him out for an early AM surf. Surfing California is a lot different than Hawaii, so I did my best to prepare him for cold water, less than clear conditions, and less than mellow waves. I’ll admit, they were probably a little too big and a little too challenging for his third time ever surfing.
He did a great job padding out, keeping control of the board, and avoiding the bigger waves. Even better than that, he’s a great wavespotter. Wes was able to spot incoming sets and pick out the best waves consistently. He called me in to a few great waves, a couple that I got some compliments on. Yeah!
Wes didn’t really get a solid ride in, many good attempts but the waves were a little too steep for a clean ride. Next time I think we’ll hit Bolinas or mosey down to Cowells with a couple of soft tops. I’m glad he got to see how I spend my mornings. Hopefully next time I can call him into a few nice gentle rollers and find him some waves where he can have a little more fun.
Bonus: The Giants won the World Series! What a great weekend to be in town. 😀
