It was "Take Your Daughter's Board to the Beach Day" today. I grabbed my 3 yr old's sponge, @fatnewt grabbed his 6 yr old's 3' pink soft top, 'Pinkie'. I had no fins & had never been on a sponge before, and the sponge was tiny. Still managed to launch myself in to some waist-chest high waves. Super fun for what it was.

Small, crumbly, onshore. Dark and cold. But, there is some 13s energy, and I had 9'2" of assistance. Caught a bunch from the outside through to the inside. As a result, I had a better session than I've had in a week. Worth the fight.

Still terrible spring kookslop at SFOB. But not getting blown up by terrorists or fertilizer made it wonderful. #stoked

8@11s at SFOB was as brutal as it sounds. 20 minute paddle, OH-1.5x, thick, & breaking everywhere I wasn't. S winds not helping.

"Damn Stick, I'm impressed you paddled out. The OB gods will reward you for your sacrifice ..."

"From the lot at 6:45, looked like there were decent waves on the outside. Paddled out and ..."

Well, that was a nice impersonation of winter, SFOB. A bit closed out but glassy & consistent, overhead, & peeling. #stoked
