Surf: 2.6 ft at 15.4 s from the W at 262°
Beamer let me borrow a 5’10 quad fish he’d learned on. I’ve had it in a corner waiting for me to stop battling with my 6’10 for a few sessions to take it out.
Ocean Beach was looking mellow enough today to give it a shot.
After paddling and paddling and paddling I finally made it out. While to board is a breeze to duck dive, it’s a workout to paddle.
I’ve been working on challenging my scaredy-catness, but being on a new board might have been too much to tackle all at once. I almost got in to one wave, but just missed it. Others I was way too outside for. Others I completely panicked trying to duck under because I was too far inside. Sigh.
I did manage to finally get an inside wave in.
The board seems fun. I’m looking forward to trying it out on some easier waves to better get the hang of it. Hopefully one day it’ll be zipping along at Ocean Beach nice and happy.
