So Pete and I went out for our traditional New Year’s Day surf this morning. And, as we’ve become accustomed to, the waves sucked. The surf report called for a 10′ swell from the NW, but the tide was dropping at 8:00am when we arrived at Pacific City, and the ocean looked like a frothy mess of whitewater. But we paddled out anyway, because sitting onshore looking at the ocean would have been an even worse way to start the new year.<\/p>\n
My paddling muscles have apparently atrophied, so I stayed inside again and caught a couple of reforms. Pete made it outside once, got a nice right, then wasn’t able to get outside again, despite trying three times. He finally threw in the towel and paddled in. I followed suit.<\/p>\n
We grabbed a nice breakfast at the Grateful Bread and headed home. Gotta love PNW surfing in the wintertime. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
