Girl In the Curl


















Sarah came back from two weeks on NJ shore having adjusted to the watery surf world. We took advantage of her new gills and spent a few hours kayaking off Pillar Point. A foggy, but warm afternoon, with a beautiful feel. We paddled past mushroom rock to the outer buoy and across the Maverick's break zone. On the way back in, we stopped to play in the breakers a hundred yards off shore, inside Mushroom. Here are two water blurred shots: one of her paddling up and over, the second taken moments after punching through a wave that broke over her head. An aquacandy rinse. Yeah! She paddled into several of nice curls and surfed beautifully -once showing off some trick rodeo moves, side surfing, 360s etc. Wow. And a couple of swells caught her, providing an opportunity for open ocean swim practice. Doesn't get any better than that!
