    Were you most happy about the wave or the fact that you caught a fellow surfer high-stepping in your picture? For me, it might be the latter.

    Kidding, but in all seriousness, this spring has been incredibly consistent. Waist-chest most days of the week. Combine that and the extra hour of sunlight after work and my time in the water has gone up exponentially. All smiles on my end.

    God I'm so glad I got a log for when it small. Perfect knee-waist high peelers with no wind today at my spot. Not a soul out there with me except the dolphins and pelicans. 72 air temp. Real fun session.

    Classic VB - - - good stuff! Doesn't always have to be major, the operative word is fun surf.

    Lucked out and I timed it right today at lunchtime off Dam Neck. A narrow window of opportunity with up to waist high, almost glassy conditions. Barely a breeze. No one was out but me for quite awhile. Would've caught more rides on the larger old board that I first learned on, but still had fun getting more dialed in on its smaller much lighter replacement.
    Water was clean with none of the heavy fishy odor of two days ago.

    Started the work hustle at 730am and crushed it all day into the eve. Air wasn't so balmy and swell was small so I didn't hit the break. Sunset starts to come on and air totally changes to mid 60s so I drove straight to the break. Small (2-3ft tops) but clean and breaking.

    Threw on the wetty and sprinted out there with the 5-10 retro fish. Stayed out for an hour til it was pitch and got no less than 25 rides. Previous high would probably be 12-14 rides in a 4 hour sesh. Scored a ride every two minutes on average. Some 3-4 in a row. These were 2-6 second rides but derrrrr I got 25 takeoffs in an hour.

    Focused on pumping for speed and it was slow enough to really refine technique with that. Total bonus. So stoked. Always sprint to the water and always paddle out bro. So stoked.

    Got out for about an hour late Monday afternoon. Windy, choppy, and deteriorating conditions. Drifted quite a ways down the beach. Got one measly short ride but a good workout. But water's definitely warmer - above 50. Last night was windy with 60-70 MPH gusts and heavy rains with the arriving cold front. A 750-plus ft ship broke anchor and ran aground in lower Chesapeake off Shore Drive.

    Waves were choppy but really fun yesterday. Some 3 and 4 turn waves in the waist to occasionally head high variety. One of the best parts about it was not wearing a wetsuit!
