Surfing in the New Year

Surfed with my sister again today at Tourmaline. The waves were somewhat choppy, but still rideable; small waves in the 1-3 foot range. A longboard would've been ideal, but I was able to ride a wave laterally with the 7'4" fish. Patience is required to set yourself up to ride a wave laterally. You gotta catch it before it starts to break but not too prematurely where you'll stall out. I also had the oppurtunity to further instruct my sister on surfing. It really helped being able to work one on one with her. She had some luck catching waves, and was sorta able to stand up. She had a good time, hopefully the waves will be bigger tomorrow. It'll be my last full day in Cali for who knows how long, so I gotta make the best of it. The sunset on the water was beautiful to watch too.
