Haha, busted. Didn't even paddle out. Was lured by some mesmerizing lefts pre-dawn, but just wasn't feeling it as I walked the beach in the cruel light of day. Kind of put off by what appeared to be a ceaseless and ever-shifting impact zone. Didn't help that a local who I know to charge the park with or without company did the exact same thing-- suited up, took a walk, and then called it off. He didn't waste as much time as me tho, so I guess he holds the record
As I alternated between watching him climb back up the dune and a sole lo ngboarder eke out chest hight sloggers in the lee, decided to wait and surf later. Was the right call for me, since the session I had a few hours later was pretty darn fun.
