Surfed on Saturday

It was foggy but glassy on Saturday morning. Unfortunately I had two things going against me:

1. I haven't been surfing
2. It was a little mushy

You know it's bad when the dude beside you gets a ton of rides while you sit there struggling to get a good ride.

It's time for me to buck up and purchase a new 3/2 because my spring isn't going to cut it anymore. I've been checking them out online, but they're still pretty pricey.

Surfed yesterday afternoon..

..and it sucked.

Surfing in the morning is definitely the way to go. Yesterday afternoon was onshore, windy, messy, steep takeoff. Aside from size and warm weather, probably the worst conditions to go out in.

But before I start surfing in the am, I need to get myself a 3/2. It's just hard to swallow spending $300 bucks in this economy.

Trying to get back into it

Surfed yesterday and today to try to get some of the swell everyone was talking about.

I played hookie from work yesterday at around 2 pm and got a few decent rights Northside, but my best ride was when I paddled over to the south. It was pretty sick.

Unfortunately, that was the best and only wave that came through.

Today, I tried to get some surf in while I was playing volleyball at around 10:30. The high tide really mushed things up so my shortboard didn't do the job I wanted it to do.

I paddled out in trunks because I was too lazy to change into my wetsuit. I think everyone thought I was nuts. It wasn't too bad as long as I kept moving.

Finally got a good day in

Today was a pretty good day to go out and surf. Weather is still awesome, water temp is good and the waves were nice.

Got a few lefts and rights just south of the jetty.

Lots of people out and a lot of people saying how good it was yesterday. I think it's time for me to stop being so lazy and surf during the week.

Weekly surf post

So sad, all I do now is surf on a weekly basis. To be honest, I don't even check the surf report anymore - I just go out and roll the dice.

Today didn't look like much from afar, but when you got into the water it didn't take much time to figure out that there was a ton of juice rolling around.

Reportedly, there is a pretty big swell coming in tomorrow. Total waste of information on me because, well, I only surf once a week now.

Sad.

Finally got back in the water

After a few week Hiatus, I finally got back in the water. Conditions kind of sucked, the water looked like it had oil in it, but the weather was great.

I am out of shape, but I need to start getting back into it so when the season starts I am ready to rock.
