End of week is looking interesting, a 3-4ft day with light offshore wind would give me the Best BIC Bang on the Buck :)
But 1-2 ft clean and peeling is good also, less crowds and shorter paddle so I can get more waves in and work on bottom turns and setting the rail for longer rides.



Issue is, even on that BIC, you aren't going to really feel a bottom turn and the correct dynamics of it with small waves. I get the catch 22, but push a little harder, get so that you can ride bigger waves straight, then take one of those and lean back, touch the water with your trailing hand and look down the line one time.......
