Session 48 - Mar 24 - 38th

Monday Mar 24, 6-7:30, 6'2 KG Fish

The spring break surf-fest continues! After our day at the beach we got back home, and old man the surfing wizard wanted to go out again for his daily session...so, what are you gonna do? When the old man wants to surf, it's time to surf! So we helped him put on his super suit, grabbed the boards and headed on down to dad's playpen, aka inside 38th. And for this session it wasn't just Dad dropping in, getting in the way, pearling, and wreaking general havoc, but we had the privilege of being joined by none other than the floating sensation herself, sister Madeleine! She has about the best ability of anyone of just paddling way outside and laying out there, hair dry, not getting wet, looking pretty...teenagers, I guess. So image conscious! Quite a contrast from dad who could care less what he looks like (which is a good thing too because for all his effort he looks pretty goofy out there in the water) :)...Anyways in the end, both Maddy and Dad got some waves, Dad even stood up and wobbled on in, Maddy caught two waves boogey board style, she didn't even try to stand up (image), and was riding the wave all the way into the rocks (Maddy, to get out of a wave, just fall off the board. Now you know)...and the surf outside was actually pretty good, I had a great time on the fish catching some of those. 1st time on the fish out at 38th, it's such a slow wave normally I want as much board as I can possibly have, but it was peaking up pretty nice actually and had no problem getting into most of the waves I wanted, caught some fun ones. That board is a lot of fun, really flies down the line if you put it in the right spot. I'll look forward to using it more as spring/summer continues to roll on in.

For this session as well we also had a dedicated photographer, Selin, who was snapping away as our cavalcade of surfing kooks made our way down to the water. It was a bit of a spectacle I'm sure, all four of us going in a line down to the water...but you know what they say, a family that surfs together, stays together!
