Saturday November 24, 2007 (Evening Session)
Swell jumped up during the day, but not enough to overcome the morning low tide. I wanted to get in the water and practice step-back quick turns on the SUP because I want to learn this skill. Getting out Sunday may be marginal, and Monday and Tuesday even worse. I thought if I had any chance at all of getting some waves the reefs would be good, and I could find some quiet water to practice on.
I was pleasantly surprised to find some swell lines reaching into the spots. I paddled out through an eight-wave set and managed to get the last one...a short ride heading right into the pier pilings before kicking out.
I spent the rest of my short session time riding various reef peaks, practicing quick turns and battling with the kelp.
I set the Oly up with "cloudy" setting, and near dark changed the ISO to 800. The 800 pics did come out grainy, but kind of "arty" looking.
