This winter, not being able to go out touring, due to my nasty "staph"?' infection on my knee, can't swim, can't knee brace much... I started practicing surf landings going backwards towards the beach, I sure do like it that way as I always have an eye out for the incoming waves ready to paddle through a dump, and at the ready for the nasty wave to come at me... As for going towards the beach, the water carries me to shore and with very lttle paddling I can go ever so slow to the beach and execute safe landings ... This was discussed at the surf zone class I attended a few years back, but ot tried out...I guess I kept that one with me all along....sure do like it much more than having to keep looking back and back paddling so much... I wonder if anyone else does this...
