Okay, I had to. I dropped all the kids off, Sean last and checked the surfcams, and yep, it was time for a go-out.
I checked the cam at Indialantic Boardwalk on Surfline, streaming video. Light breeze, and that swell from the weekend, which had been the result of Ida's wraparound into a Nor'easter, was still pulsing in!
Because I had spent nearly the entire weekend paddling for my life and duckdiving my board, today when I went out alone, it was all like butter.
I must have ridden 30 waist to shoulder high waves this morning and I feel great.
This will also be a test to see if Sean is reading this blog about him since he will be P.O.ed that I went out without him.
"Dad? Couldn't you have gotten me out of school?"
No. We all have to go to middle school, man. That's the deal.
Waves were semi-glassy, with still, a slight drift to the south. Every now and then a head high set would roll in.
Tide is making it deeper now, as I write and the wind has picked up out of the north, so, the magic is over, at least for now.
Dad's weight this morning? 244lbs. I think I can make a gym run before I have to pick everybody up.
