Pretty much like yesterday, but I decided to go south of the pier today. Still a little bit of a crowd, but they seemed much more mellow. I actually got a few mushy lefts and rights and had a decent session.
My assessment for my surfing today is that I can be inconsistent by sometimes having good rides and sometimes blowing really good waves. I also realized that I need to work on the middle of my rides - instead of focusing on the big move on the end - so I can get enough momentum to pull off those moves. This realization came from me trying to do a roundhouse cutback and sinking near the end because I didn't have enough speed to carry it through.
I also tried my new fangled O'neill hood to keep my ears warm and prevent my surfer's ear from getting worse. It's actually not too bad until you try to duckdive because it makes your head bouyant. I actually heard that it messes with your balance, but I didn't really experience anything like that today. The best part was that it kept me warmer throughout my session.
Before I took off, I had a chance to chat with Jaime again. He said I was smart for surfing away from the big crowds yesterday. "You get any wave you want when you are away from the crowds," he told me.
Little does he know I just suck at crowd surfing.
