South by Northwest

Surf: 7.9 ft at 10.0 s from the NW at 305°

With the wind howling locally and swell in Santa Cruz being inconsistent at best, finding in a window of “not awful” to paddle out in has been tricky.

While the sunrise was lovely, I was really struggling. The new leash works much better (no tangled up feet) but I couldn’t get in to a wave to save my life. I finally got one and very slowly rode it in. Uff.

Oh, thanks to the orange board, I’m quite visible on the cams:
