I started surfing at North Garbage but quickly moved to South Garbage due to the better waves and less crowded conditions. While paddling out, I had a close call with another surfer who yelled at me; I apologized, but he continued to be aggressive, suggesting I should leave the water. Despite the unpleasant encounter, I caught around 50 waves, including some impressive ones that others weren't attempting. Overall, it was a solid surfing day with good conditions and a chance to get used to my new board.

Today I decided to surf at Sunset Cliffs, initially underwhelmed by the apparent poor surf conditions. However, once out in the water, the waves proved to be unexpectedly steep and challenging, making for an exciting session. I met a few surfers, including someone named Brian, all of us on shorter boards, catching waves and occasionally wiping out. Despite the struggles with some powerful sets and an intense paddling experience, I managed to catch a particularly large, thrilling wave, turning the session into a memorable one despite the ocean's humbling force.

The surf at Sunset Cliffs was unusually erratic today, possibly due to a mix of swells or low tide, though bigger waves and good size were still present. The break was primarily lefts, with the usual solid right closing out. Despite long waits between sets and a challenging surf, the session was still enjoyable and worth the effort.

Just got out of the water at Sunset Clips, which was windy and choppy, making it hard to surf despite catching plenty of waves. It was refreshing to be in the water, saw Marvin briefly, and the surf quality could have been better. The chop and mushiness affected my surfing, and I had to be careful with my board without a leash, losing it a couple of times but not significantly. Overall, it was pleasant, and I'm excited for mountain biking tomorrow.

I had an incredible day surfing and engaging in community activities. Started off with a surf session at North Garbage, where I initially enjoyed the solitude until it got crowded. Managed to ride one of the wildest waves of my life, a complex maneuver that felt truly rewarding. Then, after an ambitious attempt at a 10-foot wave that ended in a spectacular wipeout, I decided to switch spots, moving to South Garbage as the crowd thickened and the waves grew more challenging. Realizing my energy was waning, I wrapped up the session and did a bit of environmental cleanup, picking up trash along the way out. After surfing, I caught up with Brian at Sunset Cliffs, learning he's now pursuing art full-time, which was inspiring. Our brief conversation was a pleasant catch-up on life and his new ventures into resin art. Earlier in the day, I volunteered at a CAF (Challenged Athletes Foundation) event, assisting with Mark's Wall and learning a lot about the complexities of setting up climbing systems for adaptive climbers. The event was overwhelming but rewarding, especially seeing climbers like one remarkable participant who successfully climbed despite significant limb differences. This experience and my time surfing underscored a day of physical exertion, learning, and meaningful social interactions, closing with the anticipation of enjoying an açaí bowl, a perfect end to a fulfilling day. I spent a long day working and finishing up some tasks for Josie before deciding it's time to take a break. It's 4 p.m., and I'm heading home with plans to grab an acai bowl and possibly prepare some burrito ingredients. I've been thinking about taking a break from computer-related work tomorrow and instead focusing on some personal tasks and home activities. I also plan to vote and maybe tackle those little things I've been putting off. Living near Sunset Cliffs is a highlight for me, especially with its proximity to my favorite bagel joint and other local spots like Obeys People's Market. I love the vibe of the area, and it's a great place for surfing. Now, I'm looking forward to enjoying my acai bowl and winding down for the day. And oh, I've got to get back to Josie. That's pretty much it for today.
