Nice!
I'd kill for lake waves that clean, regardless of size.
Semper Fi!

It's simple, either you get the wave or the wave gets you.

We surfed 1 footers in Santa Barbara last weekend. My wife, daugher and I hooted like owls on expresso each time someone else caught a wave, and we had the place to ourselves.  Who cares if Barbie couldn't stand up in the tube?  We had a blast.  ...We had to do it.  ;D

Cheers mate, and to many more sessions and the health to enjoy them.

Beautiful spot to paddle regardless of the size.

Sometimes its fun to see how small you can go. I've had some ridiculously long rides on 1 foot (or even smaller) waves (ripples?) that wrap around the sand bar at the mouth of a local bay. Get trimmed and ride for a couple hundred yards..... :D

That's what makes SUP surfing so fun.
I go out with no expectations, and tear the snot out of ripples. Meanwhile, proners sit around waiting for the set waves. :)
