The weather has been making a turn for the better, so I surfed yesterday and today. Yesterday on the south side of the Huntington pier, and today on the north side.
Yesterday turned out to be fun, and sunny. The tide was high, but there was some northwest windswell, and some nicely shaped rights were coming through. There was a pack of guys on it, but I just moved a couple hundred yards down the beach and got a few by myself.
There were some really good young surfers out (getting ready for a contest on the south side that started today, I think). Some had really clean bottom turns (to setup their airs and reverses). It's interesting to me that a proper bottom turn (at speed, especially) is probably the most notable skill that separates the top 30% of surfers from the bottom 70%. Deep thoughts.
Another thing I saw were volleyball players getting ready to practice below the pier. I was jealous of the fact that it was 9am on a clear, warm Tuesday and they were just starting to loosen up for a few matches of volleyball. Don't they work?
