COMMENT Comments Off on Baby Steps into the Wave Season
You ever get out on the water after a long hiatus, perhaps with nukin’ conditions or large waves or offshore winds, etc… and just sort of need to dial it in, feeling vulnerable and tentative?
That was my day yesterday until…
11:15AM, lighter winds, underpowered 4.7, 4 guys out, trying to get through the large sets coming in. Chicken jibing. Getting out. Dialing in the first wave ride with a quick, tentative single cutback. Repeat several times.
The wind started filling in perfectly and my confidence blossomed. Felt good all day long, just playing in the largish surf. The Fall wave season is back and I feel great.
