Surfing at South Packery
I went surfing late today. It was cold, misty and windy but I sucked it up and drove out the s. Packery. Winds were out of the North, so waves would be drifting south so I could use the jetty to aid me getting out. It worked pretty well, I was able to get past the 3rd garbage can on the jetty. Due to time constraints and the distance I had to swim out to get to good waves, I only caught three waves, but each time I was able to stand up and ride it in. The final wave I caught and was able to ride it laterally south as it broke. It really helped to look towards where I was going. I find myself looking down, and when you lose sight of the horizon, you begin losing control and fall over. I would've been able to ride the wave further, but it wasn't lined up well enough and I wound up stalling at the end, I wasn't able to reverse and continue riding the wave. Still fun though. After riding a large wave, I'd catch a smaller wave back to shore and reposition myself. Need a board sock though, I'm worried I'm gonna ding my board every time I take it down to the elevator. Hopefully I'll be able to get out tomorrow. I have a feeling I'm gonna be able to use the jetty to crush some nice waves. Also, one thing I learned, if its windy out and your trying to tie your board down to a roof rack and cinch it tight, just tie one tie down with a quick release knot first, so your board doesn't keep flying off. It makes life tough and your head sore. And, on a side note, I got another transfer cable for my camera, so I've already been adding pics up. Of course, my camera doesn't charge when its on the cable, unlike my brothers, so I was only able to get one pic at the beach before the battery died and my camera refused to work. I'm gonna be breaking out my gopro board camera again, should be pretty ill.
