Not goofy???

Surfline called it flat today, hahaha! Fools. There were rideable little ankle waves. I know they were rideable, even enjoyable, because I saw K. get 12 or 14 long rides on them.

However, I didn't get any. I watched her back as she sailed down the line, while I regressed to the point of not being able to stand up. Did I mention that I hate her? She did help by pointing out that the way I was getting up, my foot was pointing in the exact opposite direction it was supposed to go, and that it is impossible to balance that way. Well, I knew that, but I suppose it helped to have expert verification.

Her idea was "Maybe you're not really a goofy foot, maybe you're a regular," went against all my instincts and experience. She told me to try getting up regular. I tried. I don't think that's the solution. If only it were so easy.

She's good at popups in the living room (excellent, wonderful), but I've noticed she doesn't get up as easily on the board. In fact, she does it very differently. I really don't see how being skilled in the living room translates into being able to do the same thing on a speeding board. Though everyone keeps telling me to practice on land, I can't really get into it.

The best part of today was practicing my turtle dive and getting it down again, at least in the six-inch waves. 43-degree water flushed into my suit from everywhere it could possibly flush. Oh yeah, that's why I don't do turtle dives in winter.

Then you need to practice in the whitewater. I started out there and then moved out into the lineup once I'd gotten the pop-up down. Since you can catch a wave from the line-up, my suggestion is that you do about a 15 minute pop-up warm-up in the whitewater. It couldn't hurt.

Yeah, I get it. The aim is to have more chances to try to pop up than you get by catching waves from the outside. Check.
