Had a pretty good session this morning. The tide was a little low, but the sets were rolling through with perfect shape. There was a nice peak just north of the pier. Although there were a decent amount of people out, I figured this would be a great day to practice my crowd surfing.
My strategy was simple - post up real close to the pier and work my way to the peak. It worked pretty well, plus I know a few of the people in the water. I got a lot of lefts and rights - and if you were lucky - you would get the sweetest cleanup wave every once in a while. Once it got later in the morning, the crowd definitely loosened up.
I feel kind of guilty about buying a new board because there are two shapers that surf the pier every morning. I always feel like they are checking out the new boards I get and they think that I am betraying them in some way. Whatever, I just really love the fish I got.
I am eventually planning to buy a board from them, but I just haven't felt it yet. I also get vibed when I don't buy a board from the local surf shop too.
But that's just me.
Leaving tonight for our Manila office. I am bringing one board just in case I get to go out and surf. Not keeping my hopes up though.
