Surfing: Bodega Bay, California Wind Direction: n/a Wind Stength: Feeble Surf / Sea State: Messy surf Air Temperature: 20 Sea Temperature: 15 Weather: Sun Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The wind jinx strikes again, so I went to hire a surf board. In the shop
they told me it'd been blowing a whole month non-stop till the day
before...
Rented a 10ft longboard just to re-familiarise myself with what I learned
in Oz in December.
The surf here was much more powerful & less forgiving than Bondi... On my
first sortie I paddled out OK, but then got caught in my first ever rinse
cycle. On the second, I caught a wave and..woo-hoooo!!!! It was a bit like
Alton Towers... After that, I couldn't even get out through the waves, but
kept trying & practicing paddling techniques, still had really good fun.
Another box in life ticked, Surfin' USA... :-)
