I have been lagging the past week and have not been able to get out to surf. We are heading into the summer months here in SoCal and I am noticing the amount of people in the water is growing fast. I have been looking forward to the summer, not only for the warm weather but also because the waves are supposed to get smaller which is good for me. I went out a few days ago and got thrown around by 4-5 ft waves. I left the surf that day feeling discouraged and beaten. I didn't catch anything and pearled once when attempting to catch some white water. I guess surfing is like golf, if you don't do it often you can get worse!
I know this is not the case but it sure felt that way. I spoke to a guy I work with that has been surfing for years and he said that he has days like that and to not let it discourage me. I thought yesterday was my day to get back at it but after I got to my surf spot I saw an endless line of surfers in the water. There had to be at least 150 surfers sitting out in the lineup over the span of about half a mile. After seeing that, my buddy and I decided to skip it for the day. Of course I felt like a quitter and like I had not accomplished anything for the day after dipping on surfing so I started today with a new mindset. I need to keep at it!
