Surf: Clean, mellow, and lovely. Just like yesterday.
Took it easy this morning and slept in. All these late night surf sessions are catching up with me.
Ed swung on by with the camera again. I managed to get a few good rides, but I’m not sure we got any closer to getting Beamer a good shot on his board.
Once the photo shoot was over, Ed walked out to the beach with my fish and we swapped to give him a chance to try out my hull. I love letting folks try out my boards. I like hearing other perspectives on what I’m riding. Every board fits every person differently. Because I’m pretty inexperienced, it’s hard to tell when a board is quirky or when I’m surfing it wrong. (Usually I’m surfing it wrong)
Ed got some nice cruising hull rides.
I’m definitely surfing mine wrong.
I got a quick fish ride before swapping. It’s still a little soft for the fish and the difference between a concave bottom and a hull bottom is huge.
I’m hoping not only to get some time in on the fish in steeper conditions when I get back, but also to have someone else try it out and see how my first shape worked out. I have a feeling it’s a really fun board, I just need to learn to surf it. 😉
