Summer spots and small-wave boards

2013-MT-07-26

Surf: 3.3 ft at 16.0 s from the SW at 232°. Low tide.

After a busy busy week and a few flat flat days, I was looking forward to getting out there. I brought my hull thinking it might be fun at Lindy, but Lindy was pretty flat. Flat enough for me to pass and keep looking.

The tricky part being that I’m not sure I’d taken my hull out at this particular beach break. With the new find on it, I was feeling a little nervous. Some nice looking waves rolled by as I paddled out. “I wish I’d brought my fish” looking waves. As the tide swapped things got a little softer, so the extra paddle came in handy.

I got once really nice long left that was pretty fun. I’m always surprised by how much this little board goes and goes and goes. Swishing around little sections. Where I get stuck is that I tend to blow waves when they are steep so I’ll kick out or not commit to a take off.

I really wanted to get a solid right in, but I settled for a very fun belly ride in. Jumped a few of the outgoing waves before plowing face first into the beach. 😀 Weeee
