Surfing in the Sound!

DCIM100GOPRO

Who would think that on a lovely over cast rainy day that one would ride waves let alone more than one in Howe Sound, B.C? Yup, surf sess in full affect. With a 14foot race/touring board. It wasn’t your normal session as the winds were 20 to 30k and swells were a foot or two and it was raining and over cast. My plan was to zig zag all the way to Watts Point once we got out of Blind Channel but we had to much fun running the runners to the beach. We would turn around and head back out a couple of hundred meters and do it again! It was back tiring, shoulder burning awesomeness!! I got a bunch of nice runners but one really good solid wave? picked me up and carried me right to shore!! In the immortal words of Luc Benac, “I stepped back, then back, and back again again and all right!! or there a bouts from a few weeks ago. Same thing, gotta step back, and I did. So much fun!! #ryderseyewear, #andylogan, #blackfishpaddles, #suplife.
