Day 17 - Two Birds in the hand...

is better than one in the bush. I like those sayings. But, what I like more is screwing them up. When in Rome...

Sessions 19 and 20

We got out there 2x today. One very early, which was a bad call for sure. It got a lot better as the tide dropped. But, I was stuck trying to figure out how to work my new computer. I'm a nerd... I should've gone back out there at about 10am. That was when it looked really good. The early (7am or so) session was pretty slow, hard to get into the waves, but I still caught a few fun ones. Jason was on the fun gun again, he had the right board, as the tide made the waves somewhat mushy and the strong offshore winds made it really difficult to go once on the wave. I saw him turn his board a couple of times like it was a short board (it's 7'2"). I had a couple of good cut backs, but it was crowded so it really was not a long session. Always a good time though!

The next session, Jason and I surfed by ourselves in the afternoon (1pm). There was a little wind on it, but it was still really fun. It seemed like it had picked up quite a bit and we were surfing it drained out (very low tide). At first it seemed really walled, but we both caught a few very fun waves, probably some head high waves out there, but with a lot of power given the low tide. It was Jason's first time on a board other than the fun gun, he rode his compressor, I think it is 5'11" or something. I was pretty surprised as he had a couple of very nice turns.

I came back in and met up with Warren and Lutrell to watch the Final Four. Michigan St. and NC one, both Warren and I lost our pool.
