Had some nice waves to insert myself into this early morning in NORCAL. Seeing that I was not the first in, having waited for my work boss to show up so we could surf together, the lineup was pretty crowded. Yet, with the short duration wind swell and lots of peaks spread out all over the place, there seemed to be enough waves to go around with me and the boss all on our own little peak that produced some nice but short rides because of the severe minus tide closeouts. I actually got to practice a new trick of mine: the knee paddle drop
I have been trying to perfect this maneuver for a while now and have had some success of late. The main problem with knee paddling into a breaking wave is not allowing your board to get into a trim position that "stalls out" your forward progress. On bigger waves this is not a problem as much it is with the smaller, funner waves.
Anyways, was a beautiful day with much stoke being taken by all...
