Great Time

The last Sunday was another great time at Lake Newport. The tide was so low I could walk up to the lineup and the water was only up to my shoulders. Being that I am only 4’11’ that makes it about 4 feet of water.

I had to joke with the other surfers and we talked a bit. I waited for some of them to leave to take my board out. There were about 10 and no waves. Okay, just little bitty ones that were better for body surfing than board surfing. There was no need for my 9’6” board to be hogging up space. I swam for a while and played a bit in the water, making sure to keep out of the way as best as I could.

I did get my board out. I am finding out that I am not as tired as I used to be. Now I feel ready to try to add Friday mornings to my schedule of exercise. I should be able to go out and then head back in time for work. I don’t know if I will be able to do every Friday, but I will try.

This will be my first time going out twice in one week. Of course I will be reporting back as to how that goes. As always I will check up on Surf line before I go out. What did we do before that? Oh yeah, the surf reports on the phone.

The end of my morning ended as usual with breakfast and a good book. Before I left I took a long last look. They sky was blue and the water sparkled and I was listening to good music. It’s times like that when it’s so hard to leave.

This is what I do, first I think about making a change. Test out the waters to see if it is possible. Then when I feel it is right I go for it and don’t look back. I can’t always do that with everything, but I will keep trying. :-)
