Surf Sesh, September 18, 2023

 Missed a few days- hurricane swell was too much for me.  Had a nice session Monday- felt good to be back after more than a week! The surf was messy and still big, so stayed in the whitewater.  Had some good pop-ups.  Need to remind myself to look up and not at my feet!

 Had a nice session.  Waves were small and glassy, got some good green wave practice- definitely not perfect!

Surf Sesh September 7, 2023

 Had a rare mid-day session and it was hot!  The water was warm and there was tons of seaweed.  

I caught a few good whitewater waves with good controlled endings.  

I caught a green wave- once I caught it it felt big and I got scared taking the drop so I didn't make it to my feet.  But, I went for another one, not as big, and made it to my feet!

Okay session- not terribly refreshing with the warm water, hot sun, and seaweed everywhere!

Time surfed: 29 min (waves started closing out too close to shore, and there were a bunch of kids in the shorebreak)


total time to date: 10 hours

 Session cut short when a big, dead fish got caught in my fins!  I appreciate that things live in the ocean, and therefore die in the ocean, but a dead fish that close to shore felt like bad vibes.

 Another good day of hurricane swell!  Waves were big, so I stayed in the whitewater on the inside. 

At first I was having a hard time letting go of the work day, but the water did it's magic and I had a good session!

I've noticed my popups are getting....poppier?  Faster and smoother anyway.  Had some good finishes.

 The waves were rough and fast- hurricane swell is real!  But, I maintained good control of my board!
