Surf contest
No, not really. But it was my first time surfing with L. in months, the first time since she's gotten better.
Though she is still a wimp. Here's what happened: we went in together and she got three rides in about fifteen or twenty minutes. I didn't get any. It usually takes me about that long just to figure out the waves.
So she won the first heat. But then she quit after only twenty minutes---after spending over an hour getting suited, driving to the beach, etc.
I got going after she left, and got a ton of rides in the next two hours. Yeah, things went good today---maybe because the wind was onshore? Because the waves were so small? Because I am Bizarro Surfer who can only ride in adverse wind and poopy waves? Who knows? The most challenging part of today turned out to be getting the surfboard home safely in wind that threatened to carry me off like the Flying Nun.
I didn't get cold and I had fun and I surely won the last seventeen surf heats.
