I haven't surfed in a long time - about a full month. Weather changed up from the banana belt Santa Cruz winters. Some of the weather over the last few weeks has been blustery. The thought of being in the water made me think that I'd get funky lung pneumonia.
Instead: I did a lot of walking. I think my last post talked about walking around suburban san jo and the "crime zone;" and the whole new extra grande Whole Foods at Blossom Hill and Almaden. It's all that and Lisa Dewey works there. God bless her. The place to be and not to be at the same time.
Anyway, today I went to New Brighton to see if anything was happening there, I ended up paddling out to the Bombora Reef. No one was out there. The little peak and bowl slabs I saw from the car made me go. Despite the long wait I did get some good left rides. I felt that it was a "soul" session for the most part. Except soul surfers don't beat themselves up for surfing shitty... I knee boarded one of the waves because I couldn't figure it out.
Bombora has a fun drop. But the ride is quick. The last wave I did figured it out and got a nice cut back move.
Whatever, it was fun to be in the water. Later I used my park pass again and went and hiked the Redwood Loop at Henry Cowell State Park.
In other news, however...
Earthquake, Tsunami, Meltdown.
