I have ridden in the surf only about four or five times. Rode last wknd in Surfside, Tx with Skinnyman and Shackleton and the waves were pretty big. Still no backflips or rolls for me, but I made it all the way out to the back set without exhausting myself which is a first.
I am starting to get more confidence on the waves and trying more to "surf." Its hard to describe the rush making a quick turn on a jetski on the lip of a 6 ft wave, I cant imagine flipping off one.
I had my first pearl, got completely mowed over by the wave and separated from my upside down sj (I tried to hang on). Two waves later and a little help from Shackleton and I was back at my ski. Flipped it over and hardly any water came out of the bilges. That was reassuring.
A couple of times I caught nice waves and was able to let go of the handlebars and surf for a few seconds. What a cool feeling.
I am beat up, sunburnt, and exhausted at work today but I still got a chit eating grin on my face.
Thanks for reading and thanks to the X. Especially those that contribute so much.
