Hope you stretched and are in good paddling shape ! The beauty belies the physical work to get out there. Three lines of white water, the inside about to unload, and the feathering, marching outside wave…as final destination. Rarely does a photograph at paddler’s level depict the arduous journey of the surfer’s trip from shore to the line-up, where he or she might grasp the holy grail. There is no free ride. As with all worthwhile pursuits, you gotta work for it.
