Went out last night for a repeat of Monday's session, but it was windy and garbage. No one out although yesterday was two dozen cats out there. What a difference a day makes, although some tipsters say mid-day was really fun. I shoulda been there an hour ago.
I knew the waves were going away, and the buoys had dropped in half since yesterday and I wasn't about to have an afternoon blowout again so I went at lunch. It was small, and only a few guys were out there tinkering around. I was in the water for 34 minutes and caught a dozen super small waves. At first I was going nowhere on them but after awhile I got a few that took me to the beach. Was working on getting my back foot further back. I keep getting up on the fish way too forward and end up not being able to turn and bogging down. The further back foot helps. Judging by the forcasts this could be my last SB based session in awhile, it's looking bad.
