it Kicked my Ass.
It has been since October/November 2006 since I have ridden surf. My wife, Izzy and I are on a weeks Vacation in Ft Morgan, AL (Gulf Shores). Surf yesterday was really nasty. Today it smoothed out but is still kinda rough. To the point that you have to work to get out past the first set of breakers. A few times the only way was to literally jump your way out.
Let me say I am way out of shape! after just a minute my arms felt like noodles. Got rolled in a wave the first minute but held on to dear life since I was alone. Just played around in the breakers and some smaller jumps. Managed 2 full plate to plate rolls but that was about all I had in me. Waves were ideal for trying a back flip but will leave that to another time when I am in much better shape.
Hope to get another ride in before the oil slick comes in. Have not heard how far out it is at this point.
