"Sunset Cliffs Surfing Adventure"
Mar 22, 2024 - 7:14pmSummary: I just finished an awesome surfing session at Sunset Cliffs. The first waves I caught were stunning, and I managed to stay completely dry. The high point was nailing a seven-foot wave, though I also had fun with a smaller one until I wiped out and accidentally kneed myself in the head. This minor mishap led to a slight chip in my tooth, which is barely noticeable but annoying, and left me with a noticeable welt on my forehead. Despite the pain, it's been a good day, though I'm contemplating taking it easy for the rest of it—a decision I'm still mulling over.Transcript: And I just got done surfing at Sunset Cliffs. I had a fantastic session. The first three waves I caught were amazing. I didn't even get my hair wet. And it continued to be a pretty good session, and I just was relaxing and enjoying and having a good time. And then I caught like a seven-foot bomb, barely made it, but I made it and had a great time on that wave. And then I took a smaller one, like a five-foot insider or something like that, maybe four-foot. And I just like kind of messed up my turn. And somehow I flew off the board, and I kneed myself in the head. Like my knee hit my forehead. And somehow that happened. And then... Ha ha ha. And also I like very, very slightly chipped the inside of one of my teeth, which is a bummer. But I guess that's life. You can't really tell from the outside that the tooth is chipped, but I can feel it on my tongue on the inside of my teeth. It's just one. It's pretty minor, but a bummer. I just now have this like massive welt on my head. And maybe it's not that massive. It feels massive to my brain. My brain is like, dude, fuck this. But, you know, it is what it is. I guess I'm going to take it easy for the rest of the day, or maybe I won't. Who knows? We'll find out. But, yeah, I fucking kneed myself in the face.

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.

Overall, it was a solid surfing day with good conditions and a chance to get used to my new board.
The surfer caught several perfect waves back-to-back at Swami's, starting with a small insider followed by a six-foot wave that was an absolute blast. The conditions changed as the tide came in, making the waves mushier, which combined with the crowdedness, prompted the surfer to move to a different spot called Boneyards. At Boneyards, the surfer gave a good wave to a girl he met and then caught two amazing rights, noticing fewer surfers there compared to Swami's. Eventually, after the shoulder pain started, the surfer took a final wave in, completing a day of beautiful surfing with light winds and nice surface texture.

The surfer had a somewhat disappointing day at Swami's, despite getting out early and having two boards with him. He decided to surf with the longboard and without a leash, which turned out to be a bad move as the surf was mixed up and not suitable for a longboard. He struggled to hold onto his board during a big set, losing it several times. He took some rough falls and learned the hard way that it was a mistake to go out without a leash. Despite the challenging conditions, he still considered it a decent day because any day that allows him to surf is a good day.
