I agree with Sticker. That was not cool.
I suited up, the surf looked passable, but by the time I’d walked down to the beach the wind went from a light breeze to gale force winds. By the time I’d finished chasing down a few wind-torn closeouts, my face was beat red and completely windburnt.
And, of course, as I packed up my gear, the wind calmed back down and the waves smoothed out again. Ahh, surfing. 🙂
