Surf: Waist-Shoulder high, peeling.<\/p>\n

Ed dropped by this morning to take us on a little surf adventure a few minutes up the coast. In the ten minutes or so from the house to the turn out, we nearly lost the boards off the roof AND got attacked by a giant spider hiding in the beach towels. Adventure!<\/p>\n

It was one of those dirt path through the brush to a break you can’t see style spots. Beautiful beach, point break.<\/p>\n

Kinda funny to be in a lineup with other people after so many sessions on our own.<\/p>\n

Caught lots of long soft rights before trying out the faster steeper left. Picked up one successful zippy left, took a few more on the head before a nice set came through. I paddled, I caught it, I blew the bottom turn and rolled with the wave. I surfaced to find my leash snapped and board skipping around on the inside.<\/p>\n

Crap. <\/p>\n

I’ve never had a leash break before. I wasn’t terribly concerned about being boardless, but being inside swimming around huge reef rocks to get my board under control was a little surprising. Got some help on the inside, snagged the board, took a few more waves on the head. When the set passed, I paddled back out, rigged up some sketchy triple knotted leash attachment and kept on surfing. <\/p>\n

Tried out Brian’s hand plane in the beach break. Fun! I can’t imagine swimming a whole session like that. Dang. Gotta be in good shape for sure.<\/p>\n

Came back to the house for ice cream, beer, and siesta. Stoked!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
