Stoked session in SC
After a brutal day of bumper to bumper surfing at a local break, I hit a spot in S.C. which is absolutely gorgeous and fun for anyone who attempted. Most peaks were seeing some good amount of action, but I found a peak all to myself, and my brother. This break is known to be fickle and if the sandbars are not right, it won't work. I was in luck today because there were bars all over the place. I loved it.
I had a hard time deciding what to surf because I had both my longboard and shorter one too. I ultimately decided on the longboard because some of the waves seemed like it took some effort to get into. I chose correctly. Though, had it been any steeper and faster, I would have had to run back and get my egg.
Anyways, as soon as I got out, I paddled for the first wave that came through. It only provided me a sampler with what to expect. Most of the waves I got were in the shoulder to head high range. And the rides were long! Some of them didn't hold up, but I was rewarded for selecting the right ones and had a lot of shoulder to work with. Most of them walled up pretty good, but the front sections would hold up and I got a bunch of ups and downs on the waves. I got halfway covered on a few of them and that was a first! Also a first is me dragging my hand through the wave as I trimmed down the face.
We must have gotten more than 10 waves before another stoked longboarder joined us. He was mellow, and we kinda took turns in the lineup. The most memorable wave was also negated by a ten wave rouge set that washed me all the way in. Doomsday style closeouts came through to show us who was boss and to remind us that we are not the ones to dictate to the ocean who's boss.
Besides that, we all got good rides and a memorable session to boot!
