I&#8217;ve been wanting to try a hull for a while, but hadn&#8217;t been able to get the stars to align to be at the beach on the right day when a friend had theirs for me to try. <\/p>\n<p>It was pretty fun. The board paddled as easy as my 9&#8217;4 and cutback smoothly. As it was crowded (and I was worried about dinging Mike&#8217;s board) I got mostly short waves. I managed few longer ones where I could see more of the swoosh factor in action. I&#8217;d probably need to change up my stance to surf something like this regularly. I&#8217;m a little too&#8230;braced for impact. I&#8217;m digging in when I should be squiggling.<\/p>\n<p>When Mike was packing up, Chris said he was on his way, so I hung out in the lot a while. A dude in the lot was teasing me for taking pics of the meh surf and offered to take a picture of me instead. <\/p>\n<p>Eventually Chris showed up and I took out my 7&#8242; to pick up inside waves as the crowd thinned. I got a few slow ones, nothing fancy. We moved to a larger area of the beach, but I was too tired to get anything decent. After 4 hours of surfing, I opted to belly one in and finally get to work. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2322\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/2012\/09\/vaquero\/2012-lm-09-26b\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?fit=3264%2C2448&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3264,2448\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.4&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 4S&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1348650646&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0030120481927711&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2012-LM-09-26b\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?fit=525%2C394&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?resize=525%2C394\" alt=\"\" title=\"2012-LM-09-26b\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?w=3264&amp;ssl=1 3264w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.traceythompson.com\/surfing\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/2012-LM-09-26b.jpg?w=1575 1575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surf: 6.9 ft at 10.0 s from NW at 296\u00c2\u00b0 I hit the beach early to borrow Mike&#8217;s 8&#8217;7 Vaquero.
