SurfMat Session

Did a mid-Sunday-morning session at the 4th mile. Although there were people on the beach, the water was empty. This was likely due to the small waves and low tide showing rocks and much kelp/eel grass. These things are no problem for the surf mat though, and I got right out there. I still can't find much speed on the mat and I'm limited to what the wave wants to do, but it's still playing in the ocean. I surfed for a good hour before another joined and I got bored with the wait between sets. A few good waves and pleasant weather, but nothing to brag about. I came in and changed out of my wetsuit on the beach. Before I was finished there were 8 people in the water. I left at just the right time, I just wish I started earlier.
