The best ride of my life

Need I say more?? :)

It happened yesterday. I stood up and rode all the way to the beach.

At this break, that's about a six-second ride for the best of us. It's the longest of my life.

It was so great, I wanted to go out today again. K. and I went to check the waves, and they were chest to head high. We actually stood there for several minutes thinking about whether to go in. We both actually kind of thought we could handle it. Any other day, it would have been a no-brainer: Head high. No go.

But because of yesterday....

I still think that I need to get confident on waist high waves before I try bigger ones.

However, as K. pointed out, on any given head high day, there are "littler" waves that are only waist high. She was trying to talk me into going for those, while convincing me we could avoid getting bopped by the big ones. But at this shifting beach break, that's pretty tricky.

I'm definitely willing to try bigger waves---just not that big.
