Day 35 – Cup o' joe

Today was small, but I caught a ton of waves again on the long board. We had planned on getting 3 and calling it a session as it was an ugly morning and the waves did not look too appealing at first glance – the tide is still very high in the mornings and the waves were very small amidst a gray backdrop. What did I do? I caught about 10 waves in total and even had a couple of waves where I was able to successfully walk up and back on the 10 footer. The crossover step is so fun, I’m not sure why but it is almost as fun as a good turn on a short board. Jason and I had the conversation regarding the similarities of surfing in the morning and a cup of coffee. Sleep deprived, it is always tough to wake up, but just making it to get coffee can be motivation enough to get you going. This is how surfing is, it is so difficult to get moving, but once you’re in the water, the comfort of the bed seems so far a way and not appealing. It is a perfect way to start off every day. I have to admit, today I had a difficult time refraining from posting some boiler plate, so I’ll keep it short, which will likely be the theme in the coming days as I work my way through earnings season (day job speak).
