A friend and I had a great day surfin' San O today. The morning report said 1-2 and poor, but conditions seemed a lot nicer than that when we got there. Nothin' big or scary, but some fun rides--and no tar balls! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1OgpRwUGd0 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I noticed you seemed to be trying to surf backwards a couple of times. Was that part of some technique I don't understand? Nice to see that the storms haven't washed all of San O away. Yet. The wakeboard boats are just starting to appear on the lake here but I haven't had the F-1 out to ride any of them. Closest I get to "surf" aorund here. Still fun tho. No tar balls here either. :P Craig *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

I like to try surfing backwards on occasion! Especially when you've come in on a set and you know you can't get back to set up for the next wave. In the last shot, I was trying to do a backwards endo, but my stern hit the rocks and I decided there might not be enough water under me for such shenanigans!
