Today I had my first experience solo rigging both a highline and a midline, which ended up being quite enjoyable, though the rigging process was lengthy. I managed to take 16 steps on the line and felt surprisingly stable, almost as if I were walking in a park, due to the absence of exposure. After several short but solid sessions on the line, which felt comfortable and stable, I prepared for what I expected to be a smooth de-rigging process. Additionally, I had engaging conversations with Kevin, a visitor who shared some pictures and introduced me to his dog, as well as with Johnny, a 70-year-old iron-working company owner, who imparted wisdom on community service, the value of hard work, and finding happiness in simplicity. The individual recounts their experience with slacklining, including the challenges of tensioning the line and releasing it without assistance. They express a desire to improve their slacklining skills and emphasize the significance of access to suitable locations for practice. The optimism about slacklining becoming more normalized and the joy it brings to both participants and observers is also conveyed. Additionally, the speaker indicates a need to learn more about proper techniques, such as the best way to tie off the line, and finds instructional videos inadequate for this purpose. The speaker emphasizes the importance of skill, speed, and safety in rigging, particularly in tying techniques. They express confidence in their work, suggesting that the most recent task they completed looks pretty good. The plan is to carry the line back and then stop the recording after a successful highline and midline session.

Today yielded perfect waves and a solid surf session, but the challenge was the crowded conditions and a closed parking lot. The surfer is feeling exhausted after potentially surfing six out of the last seven days, and plans to rest and get a tetanus shot due to a scrape. They're also becoming more familiar with the local surf community, having met and conversed with several people in the lineup. Despite being tired and facing competition for waves, the surfer still had a satisfying outing, maneuvering around others and catching a particularly memorable right wave.
