It has been a bit of while since last time I surfed The Cowells, and it was
a lot of fun. One thing I love about Santa Cruz and especially the West Side
is that the rides can be very long. One thing I hate about Santa Cruz and
especially the West Side is that the rides can be very long. Sometimes I
start right off the edge of the "Indicators" and you will finally splash
down (note, I don't quite do the clean pull-out yet), close to the Cowell
shore, and then I have to paddle all the way back to the "outside." In our
local Half Moon Bay breaks we have two extremes, normally we paddle for a
minute to get 5-second rides. so to speak and Mavericks surfers can surf the
distance in a day a normal surfer will run in his or her lifetime.
So now I am back home, my arms are just about in the same shape and
consistency of the turkey wings on Thanksgiving.
Frankly, through, I have been feeling in kind of a bit of slump mode lately
and it was a good confidence building day. Especially now I can successfully
negotiate the inside parking lot. Plus the waves were not very big today
even at the outside, and not as crowded like a nice summer day.
I have to give my hat off to a girl surfer without any wetsuit today. Many
of us are freezing our buns off with wetsuit, and she just had a swimsuit
on.
Today's session was joined by Arthur, and his wife Heidi, Reez, Tanya. We
did go to dance afterwards, but it was fairly intense with everyone knowing
the Salsa steps. I said, I have my hands full with learning how to surf.
Today' my stoke was level 7.
