Evening Session (Yesterday) - 10 December

Marlon and I went longboarding yesterday evening - the tide was too low for my liking to bring out the foil.  Here's Marlon on a couple of different waves.

Since I had the longboard, I figured I'd continue to work on my goofy foot skills.

The waves were about thigh high and the wind was minimal.  With the waves as small as they were, the takeoff spots got condensed and there were more party waves than not.

I started by riding regular and then switching.  Then I started just taking off goofy.  Since I just started doing this, it still feels awkward.  With smaller waves it's not an issue, but bigger could be an issue.  Lucky for me it's winter and the waves should be on the smaller side - time to learn something new!

Evening Session - 6 December

Hit the surf in the evening after work yesterday.  It was small (maybe thigh high), but with almost no wind it was fun.  The tide was low, so I opted to bring out the longboard ( I hate worrying about whether I'm going to hit bottom or not).  After three waves, I figured I'd better figure something else out to make longboarding interesting on days where I should be foiling.  I took off regular then after the board settled, I rode switch!  I then did that for the next six waves.  I felt like I couldn't weight my front foot or I would have bogged down the board - probably because I didn't takeoff going goofy and moved up from regular stance.  And on the last wave I just took off goofy.  Rode that one almost all the way in.  I'll bring out the GoPro next time and get pictures (I'm sure they won't be pretty).
