It&#8217;s been ages since I was this sore after surfing. <\/p>\n<p>I got two nice clean lefts in and a handful of sloppier waves. I&#8217;m trying to practice my lefts. I used to have no trouble going either direction, I guess I&#8217;ve been ignoring left for a few months or something. I got one wave and started on a bottom turn that was too aggressive for such a slow wave. I swamped the board and flailed off into the water. I want to get back out there asap, keep working on it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SURF: 2-3 ft knee to waist high and fair &#8211; conditions.
