After driving to Ocean Beach (OB) to surf, I realized I forgot a towel and started debating whether to go into the water, especially since I didn't bring my longboard to Sunset Cliffs. Despite the amazing waves, I'm leaning toward going back home and possibly surfing later if I still feel like it. I contemplated borrowing a longboard from Kyle and patching it up for future use. Meanwhile, I had a pleasant encounter with Brian at Sunset Cliffs, and we caught up briefly, which was a highlight of the morning.
I went surfing this morning despite the windy and messy conditions, working through anger and a range of other emotions. While struggling in the turbulent water, I confronted my internal battles, asking why I was fighting with myself. Realizing that I can't control what others think and that it's important to prioritize what's good for me, I decided to go with the flow. Accepting this mindset, I recognized the importance of being able to say no, which felt unfamiliar yet necessary.

After surfing at Ocean Beach (OB) for around 90 minutes, I found the conditions quite unusual due to the high tide causing unpredictable wave patterns. Most waves averaged three feet, with occasional larger sets reaching up to five feet, making for a mostly enjoyable session where I caught numerous waves on my longboard. Many surfers struggled with their board choice, but my longboard proved advantageous, allowing me to ride steeper waves confidently. Among the waves I caught, one standout was a right-hander, which I rode exceptionally well, giving me the thrill of shortboarding on a longboard.

"Reflections on Making Audio Burrito Posts"
81.31% similar
The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.
