Emboldened
I love the way the water sparkles like diamonds in the sunshine at the top of a glassy wave that's about to break. Of course I only get that view when I'm about to duck-dive the ensuing whitewater, but that's not a big deal when the waves are only waist-high. The small waves south of the pier were slow, like the pod of dolphins moving languidly through the sea just outside the lineup. I grew bolder and paddled nearer to the peak to catch the soft waves on my fish, and had a handful of wipeouts but a few nice rides too. Slow down, take it easy.

hi, just wanted to leave you a sincere thank you for your blog. i'm a beginner and believe it or not, i draw a lot of encouragement hearing about the things you are working on in surfing, both mentally and physically. i can get sketched when conditions are bad or the surf is big, but reading about how an experienced surfer like you approaches these things is so helpful to me. so--thank you! keep it up and maybe i'll see ya out there one of these days
