SD Bay outing july 5, '10

[roadx]

Did you flip coming back in?

went out 4 times that day and didnt flip once. the first couple times i timed it wrong and ended up surfing it in. it would go sideways only when i lifted the rudder by then i was in knee high water and needed to jump out anyways its fun!

i did learn that if a keep my rudder cord in my hand pulled back and release when needed is easier then trying to find it then releasing it. i think the hobie guys will understand??

going out through the surf your going to get wet and i dont see anyway around that

cool!!
Getting wet makes sense - but that's what the scuppers are for right?
and if you get cold - just paddle for a while - that always warms me up.
Picked up a wetsuit (spring suit) last night at costco for ~$27 - might use that for the first time out.
