Long Lefts at High Noon

Finally a sunny day! I put my trunks on again and rode down to dog beach. (The Pier was right out – it was a sunny Saturday during summer vacation AND they are building for the Hurley US Open right now. It’s madness down there!)

The trouble I was having was that this was my third session inside of 24 hours and my arms were pleading with me to rest. “Not now, damn it!” I told my arms. But they won out. I started making all the classic tired mistakes – not making the paddle, fumbling the pop-up and so on. Still managed a few decent rides though before I completely noodled out. Plus I got to see all the happy dogs running around dog beach – always a heart warmer.
