Saturday Surf Session

So, sorry to everybody that actually reads my blog.  I've been busy finishing up my ISSA Personal Trainer Certificate (more on this topic in another blog post), celebrating my 35th birthday, getting CPR/AED certified by my local Red Cross, and a myriad of other little things.  One of which is playing video games.

My girlfriend, who is a hardcore gamer, has gotten me into it for sure.  I am not at her level, but I have fun with it.  The most recent game that I finished was Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year for the PS3.

That's not why we're here though.  SURFING!  More specifically, SUP surfing.

I know the photos are old.  I need to use my GoPro more.  I have been staying up on the updates.  The latest is really sweet with more features on the GoPro App control.

I finally got back into the water after about three week's time this past Saturday.  I went down to my usual haunt of Anderson Street.  It was perfect conditions and the water was super clear.  Funny enough, it was high tide went I hit the water, which is usually bad for Anderson Street.  The waves were coming up from the south at 200+ degrees, so they made a nice angle to the beach.  Plus, the period (time between individual waves in a set of waves) was long enough to keep them apart.

The dolphins were out there doing there thing, fairly close to shore.  It was cool.  They came cruising by a couple of times while I was out there.

I surfed for about an hour and that was good for me.  My shoulders, legs, and abs were starting to fatigue.  Plus, the water and air temps are warm and I was sweating like mad.  I only had on my 2.0mm top and a pair of boardshorts.  I wasn't wearing my full wetsuit like in my picture.

I had a blast.  It felt good to get back in the water.
Until next time,
Clayton
