Ladies surf day

2013-38-08-03

Surf: 2.3 ft at 16.7 s from the SW at 216°. Sideshore winds.

Back to Santa Cruz to meet up with a group of ladies. Nice folks. 🙂

Surf was okay. It was windy and crowded, but I got a few in on my hull. I’d been wanting to test out the new fin in SC.

I think it worked pretty well. I’m not any further on my “be able to articulate the differences between equipment” plan. I felt like I had to keep swooping in order to go down the line, rather than the board just going, but it was much tighter of a turn than usual. One of my best waves was also loud. Sheesh. What is the board doing back there?

With the crowd, it was pretty hard to try and test out the things I learned with Ashley. I wasn’t even trying to cut back (since every wave was a party wave.) One wave a guy was like “you can cut back! go! cut back!” so I tried to remember to lead with my shoulders, all of that.

Caught a movie afterwards:

Bedtime. I’m totally beat from all the paddling and positioning. Looking forward to sleeping in.
