Surf Lessons in Pismo


Pismo party wave by @traceythompson

Surf: 3.6 ft at 7.7 s from the NW at 307°. Lil windy.
(from Santa Maria 21 NM NW of Point Arguello, CA)

Day two of the surf and space roommate trip. I got up early and scoped out the waves, but forgot that once I left the room, I was going to be stuck outside (no room key) so I watched the surf slowly deteriorate.

Ah well. Worse waves means fewer surfers and more whitewater for my beginner roommates to catch.

Once we packed up the room. I went out for a short surf while Meghan picked up a soft top. I splashed around in my swim fins trying to push her into waves. While she didn’t stand up, I think she’s figuring out enough to have fun with me in bolinas or a cowells. 🙂

Always nice to see someone stoked.

Swapped the fins for my board and caught a few more waves. Chatted with folks in the water. All around, not fun sloppy surf.

The other girls went out with Kaitlyn and each stood up once or twice.

By then our warm beach weekend had turned to wind and puffy jackets.

Not a bad trip. 🙂
