Surf: 3.0 ft at 12.1 s from W at 277\u00c2\u00b0. Incoming tide. <\/p>\n

Decided to give a different stretch of the beach a shot this morning. Still coughing, I appreciated the smaller waves. <\/p>\n

Spent the morning trying for steeper inside waves. It’s a good way to realize exactly how little rocker my hull has. Yeeeesh. Faceplant after faceplant. I’ll admit, it’s almost entirely that I don’t know how to surf this board in that kind of wave, but man, it still smarted a little. <\/p>\n

Upside of the morning was watching Brien get a couple great waves and watching Beamer screaming down the face of some steep little inside waves. <\/p>\n

While I know hulls aren’t exactly meant for Ocean Beach, it’s still been good getting it out there and paddling paddling paddling. I’ll need all that paddle for Pleasure Point this winter. <\/p>\n

Eventually I’d love to get a board just for Ocean Beach, but I’m a ways off from that. I made the mistake of mentioning something to that effect on twitter and got quite a few opinions back. Yow. When I’m ready, I’ll either look for something generic off the rack (that I won’t cry if I snap in half) or I’ll drop by Sunset Shapers for a chat. For right now, I’m not going to think about new boards. Gotta learn things one board at a time. Slow and steady.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
