Sunset Surf Session: Balancing Passion and Responsibility

Oct 15, 2024 - 9:36pm

Today marked another fantastic surf session, this time during a sunset class. It was my third consecutive day surfing, but this session was a bit shorter, lasting around an hour and twenty minutes. I exhausted myself in the initial stages, primarily because the waves were consistent, not necessarily larger than before but incredibly steady. Despite occasional breaks, the session was intense—paddle, wave, paddle, wave, with a bit more wind adding to a progressively choppier sea over these days. I caught an insanely memorable wave, one I barely managed to ride, leading to an exhilarating 200-meter journey down its face on a longboard. Although I misjudged my speed towards the end, it was still the highlight of my day. Reflecting on my surfing approach, I realized I've been overly bold, almost as if I wasn't using a leash, which is something I'll adjust moving forward. Meanwhile, outside of surfing, there was a peculiar incident on the road involving another driver and police blocking the path ahead, but I managed to avoid any trouble. With my body feeling the toll of consecutive surfing days, I'm looking forward to a bit of rest and have plans to visit the Monk with friends. Additionally, I need to sort out whether Ryan can pick up some food for Moose or if I'll need to handle it. All in all, today was about balancing my passion for surfing with daily responsibilities and the need for rest, especially as the earlier sunsets are starting to impact my work schedule.

Thrilling Waves: A Perfect Day at the Ocean

I had an incredible day at the ocean, the waves were just phenomenal. It felt like hitting set clips all day, and I thrive in that. The crowd wasn't too heavy, only a few of us were really taking on the waves. They were averaging around six feet, occasionally peaking at eight feet. I managed to ride a couple of those bigger ones and felt truly in sync with my board, unlike with my other board that I just can't seem to get the hang of anymore. It was a day filled with exhilarating rides, fast cuts, and lip hits. Apart from the surfing, I also had the chance to help someone out by rescuing their board, which felt great. The conditions were perfect, no wind, just beautiful waves, making for an unforgettable session. The whole vibe, even outside the water, was so positive; people were kind, and I left the beach feeling extremely stoked. I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's session, expecting it to be just as epic, reminiscent of a fantastic day we once had, living up to all my expectations. So, yeah, totally stoked.
