Tuesday, I can't believe its only Tuesday, which is F'n awesome, had a 9:45am surf session, waves were a lot bigger than yesterday, apparently a swell is coming...which means bigger waves and more surfers in the water, today was a challenge boards were flying everywhere at one point. I caught a few more waves today which was great, but still not consistent like I want to be, I just need to chill out and let it happen, got a few more pointers from some other surfers, plan on going back out this afternoon to get some practice in. A few people went snorkling...I thought about it but I am bit tired and sore...and want to go back and surf later, so I figured I would update and upload some photos from the rodeo, which it was so dark there are not a lot of good pics, but I should be getting a bunch from everyone at a later time, some pics from last night as well.
Still having an amazing time, very motivating to get back into shape and seriously hit the beach more next summer and catch some waves when I can.
All the hardcore surfers are chomping at the bit right now as there is a swell coming so the waves will be bigger and they don't have to travel far to catch them. Met some interesting people that have surfed all over, they are so laid back and just happy about life, its a cool vibe to be around.
I will update later on, enjoy the pics.
