Surf: Glassy, waist to chest high with a few larger sets. Fun fun fun. Super glowy.<\/p>\n

After being filmed all day, Beamer was hoping to try his hand at shooting. I was pretty tired from the first few sessions, so I grabbed a longboard.<\/p>\n

After spending so much time between my hull and my fish, it felt great to be on a longboard again. I’m way more confident on a longboard and was able to set up closer to the peak, take off later, and hold a better line (or at least that’s how it seemed in my head.)<\/p>\n

Beamer said the best way to get a shot is to try and run him over. First wave I took off, lined up and shot down the line. Weeeehooo. Fun fun. He got a few good videos before the sun went down too far to see. <\/p>\n

After that we surfed for a while in the fading light. The whole point was lit up with little glowing jellies. We’d seen a few in other sunset surfs, but just a few, kinda like fireflies. These were everywhere. Every eddy and wave around the boards was full of little glowing spots.<\/p>\n

I went to take off on a wave and absolutely everything was glowing. I almost didn’t make the drop, it was so distracting. <\/p>\n

I also tried to go for a noseride in the dark. That didn’t work. I got clobbered by a section. Whoops.<\/p>\n

I heard Beamer get one in (at this point I couldn’t see anything) and decided to get one in myself. I realized I had no idea how close I was to shore. I bellied a bit, listening for the waves on the rocks on the beach. Thankfully the tide was high and I cruised in no problem. Whew.<\/p>\n
