Dawn Patrol at Doheny

[TallDude]

Not much surf this past few days, but it's still been fun. Two days before, the water temp was 76 deg, Air temp 80 deg. So I go trunk'n it, and both the water and air temp had dropped 10 degrees. So it was a brisk session. Felt good. Here's a little recap.

Thanks for sharing the video! ... LOL, I lived in SoCal for a long time and I think I can count the number of times I actually bare trunk'd it on two hands. Usually I was in a s/s spring suit at a minimum.

Clean little zippers and summer styling in your shorts.
Thanks for taking us along.

Nice vid, I think it's roughly a year since I was there. Get to see ya getting out. Ha, foiling has taken my brain over so.......I think I've logged maybe 2 days normal SUP surfing in the last 3 months.

Thanks for the vid TD... I am very happy to see more SUP surf vids hitting the Zone lately!
Doheny looks like a perfect SUP break.

I was paying particular attention to how well you kept your back foot on the stomper... I am trying to train myself to do that.
I have been a "side bites" surfer for so long, that it is hard to create new habits... thanks for spurring me backwards!

Spring suit at a minimum next time.

Little zippers to the sand bar. One last lip smack and you get sand in your crack.

Come on back to SanO and bring your foil. You'll have lots of company even if the waves are crappy.

What's funny about the stomper is I tore the original one off. I'm not sure when it happened but I was loading my board on the car and noticed the whole wedge /kicker was gone. I went to Infinity's shop and they have racks of stompers. I found one that matched the width and color of the old one. I wasn't replacing the whole stomp pad, just the kicker. The new one sticks up a lot higher. At first I was thinking that's a big kicker, but now I really like how obvious it when I slide my foot back. Gives me more confidence getting my foot on the tail.

Creek, I'm trying to train myself to stay on the tail of the board like you do so well.

I can only imagine how long rides are out there, we are pretty blessed when it comes to foiling with some nice gradual sandbars on inlets that line up perfect, 1000' waves are the norm, Ride one, walk back.

Nice little grey glassies, TD. Pretty thick and frothy pack out there too! I liked when you took off in the thick of em! They were probably like "Watch out, here comes that tall dude"!
Now I remember why I did a slide show instead of paddle mount video. I never liked all that back and forth back and forth when you're paddling! Nopticed you never did the selfie stick pov though. That's my favorite part about the p/m pov! Glad you got to trunk it. We're definitely lucky here in NJ. The water warms up to around 70F all summer and usually gets even warmer.
