Went surfing today, waves were big and pretty choppy. I picked up a pair of surfbooties, water has been really cold and it's hard to surf when you can't feel your feet! After catching a couple decent waves, I made the mistake of trying to jump of the end of the south jetty, unfortunately, I got caught by a little wave (for that day anyway) that swept me off the jetty. I scrapped my hands up pretty good trying to not to get completely washed off the jetty, and my board was dinged to the extreme. I thank God that I didn't have the leash on and that I was using a tough NSP board. The nose and tail had some pretty thick cracks. While I was swimming away from the huge granite boulders of the jetty, I saw my board getting flung by the waves. Luckily, it got washed off the rocks and I was able to swim over to it and get back to shore. Last time I'll ever try a jetty jump again. The
waves at the end of the pier were massive. I felt pretty lucky to make it out with a board that only needed $90 worth of repair and a couple scrapes.
