"Riding the Waves: A Brief Encounter with Amanda"

Dec 29, 2024 - 12:57pmSummary: Met Amanda, who has a blue Chris Ruddy board around nine feet long, similar tail to mine. She's always cheerful and we chatted briefly in and out of the water. She got in after me but left before I did, and both of us only caught one powerful wave with lots of speed.

Transcript: Um, I also met, well, I've seen Amanda out there before. She has this blue Chris Ruddy board as well. Um, I guess it's somewhere around nine foot. I think the tail of our boards is the same. She's always out there smiling and having a good time. Um, but I met her today getting out of the water. Um, I mean, we talked a little bit in the water as she just had paddled out. She got out just before me, um, out of the water, but she got in like 30 or 40 or 50 minutes after me. So yeah, it was a short session for everyone. She said she caught only one wave. I only caught one wave really, really powerful. So much, so much speed on the wave. It was crazy.
