Hope you all had a wonderful new year’s day and had some time to spend with family and friends. We sure did. I know we’ve been cyber-silent for a bit, but we back and ready to surf the new year. But before we do that, I decided to take a look back on my stats for 2009. Granted, these data are a bit goofed since we only started the site in June of last year, so this is really a 6 month recap. Still, it’s fun to see what I was up to from June to December. So, without further ado:
Total surf sessions logged: 96 (that averages to just under once every 2 days)
| Board usage: Electric: 33 Spherical Revolver: 30 Quatro: 21 Pumpkin Seed: 6 Swellwood: 3 Michel Junod: 2 Kruisechev: 1 |
Breaks Surfed: El Porto: 22 Beach Bowls: 19 HB Pier, Southside: 18 HB Pier, Northside: 9 Taco Bell Reef: 9 Bolsa Chica: 5 17th Street Huntington: 3 36th St. Newport: 3 Solana Beach: 2 Goldenwest: 2 Venice: 1 Sunset Blvd: 1 56th St. Newport: 1 Cocoa Beach, Fl: 1 Salt Creek: 1 Huntington Cliffs: 1 |
Surf Session Rating: Fun: 43 Meh: 19 Decent: 17 Epic: 16 Dismal: 1 |
I won’t bother with tabulating weather or water temp, and wave size is a bit hard to tabulate with the all the x’, x’-y’, x’-y’+, y’+ type values, but I did calculate that I had 69 surf sessions where the waves were 3 feet or higher and 18 sessions where the waves included 5’+ swells.
So what can I take away from this? Well, I was lucky enough to have 16 days that I considered to be epic within 6 months. How sweet is that?! Clearly I tend to favor my Harbour boards (but that is no surprise). I could use some more exploration – only a half dozen sessions were outside my comfort zone. But maybe venturing out once a month is decent. Finally, I need to normalize my data better for easier tabulating next time.
