Swung by Wind and Wave Surfshop today, I needed to pick up a board sock after getting smacked around yesterday. My board's tough, but it'll still get dinged up if hit hard enough. I found a Dakine board sock that was 9'6", a little long but it should do the job right. I also picked up a pair of booties, I figure that they'll last long enough and allow me to stay out longer when the water's cold. I also won't have any repeats of my cut toe like in San Diego. The guys at the surf shop said the gulf had "Victory at Sea" conditions, pretty much big choppy waves that are pretty dangerous to try to surf. I drove down to the beach and regret that I didn't have my camera to snap off a couple pictures of the conditions. Not as crazy as the tropical storm that hit P'cola, but I wouldn't want to try to surf it, not that I'd be able to drive on the beach to get to the Packery Channel.
I am pumped for tomorrow, though. Conditions are supposed to be a lot better and I got the booties to keep my feet from freezing off.
