Spank My Wookie

Yesterday, with no real swell hitting, I decided to paddle out with the 7'6" and try my hand at some hotdogging. NOT! Well, at least the hotdogging part. That won't be for a while. I did manage to get more rides than I usually get on this board. Waist to chest high, and jacking up, my first few waves made me smile as I paddled back out to the lineup. I dropped into my first wave right after a longboarder caught the first set wave. Even though I didn't muster much, as the wave petered out, I got a compliment for a nice drop-in. That's never happened before. Sweet! I went for a few more, and even performed some cutbacks; though not too nice looking, but functional. It served its purpose of keeping me on the wave, than spitting me to the ground.

It wasn't too crowded and the winds were kept at bay. Nothing like a waist high, glassy, offshore day. There were a few crowds, but I managed to sit away from them and snag some fun waves. I think I'm beginning to like taking the Ward Coffey out. In fact, I look forward to surfing it now. But when the next swell comes through, I need to take the fish back out. Also, with the small swell coming in this week, I might decide to do some logging, maybe as early as tomorrow morning!
