I had a pretty fun afternoon session today out at Knob in Redondo. Paddled out at about 1pm, took a break for a sandwich at about 2:30, back in at 3, then left at about 4. It was real wind chopped bumpy rides, but it was a slower mushy Knob (which I am not used to.) Im used to it pitching over quick and then closing out.. but today it was slower, longer rides before closing out. I had some fun ones. Got to experiment with some fun carving on my rights. (Im goofy, so I get a lot of practice going left, just trying to find my ability to go right still). :D

All in all.. it was a fun afternoon.

Had a real fun session this morning out at Knob Hill.. I said "It's valentines day, I deserve time out in the ocean.. even IF it's bacteria infested; Im surfing!"

..and I had a blast. It was real fun out there.. 2-3 footers again but this time they were pitching over real nice.. Easy to paddle into and fun to ride. As the tide came up it washed out around noon.. but man.. Fun, fun Valentines day for me.

Thank you mother nature! :D

Yeah.. the thing I keep kicking myself about all morning this time.. why is it always the rights that I take off on the best waves of my day?? hah I SUCK at rights (goofy footer) but everytime I decide to take one.. it turns out to be an AWESOME wave.. and I hack my way down the face and then usually crash out at the bottom turn. hah. and sit there going.. if that was a left.. I would've been in LOVE!! :/
