Entry 083 - Small and Mushy

Beautiful this morning but the surf was a bit crappy - small, mushy, and inconsistent. I was hoping for better but I'll take what I can get on a Monday morning before work. Caught 2 decent knee-thigh high rights that I was able to ride down the line. Was also cut off by a shortboarder paddling a foot from me - probably just competitive but I was out to have fun, he could have it. Also saw the silhouette of a 5' shark under the water out there - I've heard someone spotted a mako shark so I'm not sure if it was a mako or the juvenile white shark. Either way - he didn't bother me, so  I wasn't going to bother him.

Entry 082 - Mushy But Fun

Got out just as the sun rose this morning and met up with the same friendly crew. Sand and air was cold but the water was warm. Yep, it's fall. While the surf was overall mushy with inconsistent waist+ sets, it was still fun. Most of the waves I caught were pretty short down the line but I had two really nice rights.

Days end: Finished up a beautiful day back at the beach with my amazing wife and daughter at a wedding on the south side of Porto. Congrats, Brian and Gina!

Entry 081 - Too Polite

No Picture Today

Late start. Had to get out. Caught a few okay lefts and would have had a really nice one if the guy next to me and I hadn't been to polite to each other before dropping in - we both missed a nice ride - damn! Had a really nice right that made it all worth it today and calmed me down from a pretty stressful week.
