Too quickly, I went from surfing comfortably in a 1-mil vest and Seea leggings, to shivering a little in my 2-mil short jane and wishing for my 3/2 fullsuit. It's the first day of fall, and it shows.

I'd been out of the water - no, just away from my surfboards - for five days, and that showed too. My first maneuver was a cartwheel that began with a pearl and featured a complete inversion while I clung to my 6'2". How embarrassing. Fortunately there were not many around to witness it, and my surfing could not help but improve from there. The waves were pretty fun, although small, and I stretched my 3-decent-waves minimum to include several more before I was done. Little stoked.
And now here's some eye candy from my weekend on a friend's sailboat moored off of Catalina Island - an experience which completely disabused me of the notion of living on a boat, due to extreme sleep deprivation. Swells are best as surf.
