Well..... another great day at Linda Mar! It was sunny and
the waves were pretty good.... even though there were some
long waits in between.

I'm getting a little better at figuring out what a good wa
ve looks like.... but, I still need to let go and use my ar
ms more. I'm depending upon my leg strength and my fins a l
ittle too much it seems. I dunno why I don't wanna paddle f
ull out.... I just seem to forget to use my arms til it's k
ind of too late! (duh)

One thing I need to figure out though... Once you DO catch
a good wave....How do you steer so that you stay in the cu
rly part of the wave and not get all swept up in the whitew
ash? I'm watching the surfers... but.. I don't seem to be c
atching on.

hmmmmmmmm....
