Spank My Wookie

More mid-adventures with the fish. After about a dozen botched rides, I got a few fun rides on the fish. Again, the feeling of less board under my feet perplexes me. It's a weird feeling to be able to effortlessly turn the board. On a few of the longer rides, I notice that the board is a lot faster and can outrun a lot of the white water. I need to play on it more to get used to it.

The transition to paddling a smaller board is not too bad. Since it is wide and thick, the float is fairly decent for such a short board. I do feel really sluggish when paddling for the outside. I can't wait till those bigger winter sets loom over my head, while trying to scratch for the outside.

I can kind of duck dive the board. Most of the time, I will still get washed in with the white, but there are a few of those attempts where I do pierce through the water and escape unscathed.

There appears to be a decent south coming in this saturday. I must get a piece of it!
