Session 7104 Flat Day Everywhere, Including Mavericks (Duh!)

Well, it was basically flat everywhere this morning...

I thought that may be there is a hope at our big wave spot.

So I did the surf check this afternoon, but as you can see it was flat here too!

Session 7101

Who cares if it is flat. Can you ride small waves as good as big waves? I've seen who can. It is impossible to see who cannot surf small waves because they never try.

Session 7088. Surprisingly Good and Don't Mess Around

I have a policy that if I go to the first spot and if it looks good enough, I don't mess around looking for another spot.

I have this policy because,

• Time in the water is prcious to me. If I know I can ride the waves there, I don't get greedy. I want to get in the water, and now!
  
• There is 50/50 chance that other location can be worse or better. I have been "burned" numerous times, and wasting lot of gas and time in the process.

Sometimes, though I cannot enforce the policy if I am not by myself. In that case, I give it and my buddy a benefit of doubt and I switch the gear and enjoy wave hunting as activity.

I have another policy. Take more than one boards with me. Especially a longer and shorter board (given a condition). This has helped me on this session. I had hard time catching these outside waves without much power with my 6'5. That fixed it when I got back and gotten out the 9'0 Magic.

See You Out There!
