sunshine. Yesterday I couldn't see fitting my SUP into any of the fast closing beach breaks waves, so I brought my 7'6" Freeline shlong (John's name for this hybrid cross between a sh-ortboard and a long-board). I launched again at Platty's and went for a half-hour paddle. After that I got the shlong and surfed another 45 minutes before having to get out to visit Mark, my chiropractor.
First time I've lay down surfed in a long time. Since last September 17 I think. Only a few guys out and we were spread out so far apart it was like surfing alone. It was fun and I've been wondering what I was going to do when the winter swells died off. Now I know. I'll stand up and lay down surf, the best of both worlds. Life is good!
