The heatwave and SSW converged over the weekend and continued today and I was eager to get out after missing the weekend. Still, after being at work, eating a burrito for lunch, my motivation was lagging. Max encouraged me to go. Main lot was packed and tons of beach goers everywhere. Found a 30 min spot in the south lot. Didn’t look like many waves on a low tide. Contemplated skipping. Got so hot in the car that I finally thought, well at least I won’t be hot! Paddled out and felt refreshed. Within a minute, a wave rolled through and I got a nice right, even registering on my watch. Next one was an 8.1mph and a longer right with some face and time to do some swoopy turns. WOO. After that it was just pure fun, catching seven waves and even a nice left. Just me and the guy with the Strive board catching waves while two guys on soft tops sat mostly chatting. So stoked. Thank you, California!
