Can't believe I slept through my alarm!!!

I didn't see this happen but I saw this dude in the water. Got this pic from the venice surf report.

Yeah, I got out there at 7:30 and all the regulars were just getting out. Really good shape, size and conditions today - which pissed me off even more.

It took me a few minutes to figure out the sweet spot because the wave started off real slow but when it picked up it was a steep takeoff. Also, when you were halfway to shore, the wave would slow down before the reform.

Strated off north in front of the lifeguard tower but kept paddling back and forth by the pier. I really tried to make up for lost time, even if I didn't have to.
