Surf: Crumbly, disorganized, but it’s always overhead when you’re on your belly.
Did some ding repair during the day with Blam. My 9′ is now back in action after a few weeks drying out some minor dings. I glassed over a large section of the nose that wasn’t water tight. It’s not pretty but it’s not a terrible job.
After a few hours of that, we checked out the beach. It looked ragged and I figured it was a good time to start bodysurfing.
Swimming with a handplane is a little awkward but I was stoked to catch two waves and be able to swim the whole time. I’m not the best swimmer (not awful either) and was expecting to wear out pretty fast. It certainly is hard and I was wiped out later, but happy to have hung in there as long as I did. Yay.
What they say about bodysurfing is true, sand EVERYWHERE. Full suit + hood and I still had sand in my ears.
