There's surf!

It wasn't giant by any means, but there was something in the water. With the swell came the crowds. I saw some kid shoulder hop someone on the inside, leading to a slight collision. Then there are the bathers on the inside. It makes it challenging to surf around the little buoys. I have no idea why they would even go in the water so early in the day when it wasn't quite that hot out yet. Plus, there are stingrays out. I heard about 2 people getting stung in the first 5 minutes I went out.

The water was warm, warm enough to trunk it. The water clarity wasn't so great, but it was green. There were scattered clouds in the sky, obscuring the sun most of the session. There was even a breeze adding texture to the waves. Still, quite a few shoulder high waves came through if you were patient enough.

Sunday was smaller and the crowds were thinner. Of course, the session ended a lot earlier than on Saturday. Quite a bit of a disappointment in that regard.

Water was still warm and there was a northerly drift all morning long.

I've decided to get back into better paddling shape by going out on my smallest board every day until it becomes second nature. It's a 7'0 Hybrid from Becker. I did catch waves, but I was tired towards the end that I couldn't pop up on the last few waves.

Other than that, nothing much else to report.
