today i was keeping my eye on the wind all day long and waiting for the right time. then when i could imagine myself foiling down with the wind, i prepared myself for the long ride.
i drove to my finish line and hid my slippers in the tree. the reason is i don’t want to walk barefoot for miles back to my car on the hot pavement.
then i drove to my starting point. all i need is to catch one of these swells, pump out to sea, and ride the wind down the coast as far as possible…
i had a really good start today. i made it a lot farther than yesterday without falling. yesterday i fell 3 times, today i only fell once. and even though i still feel a little lost at sea, i can connect much better and understand the flow. tomorrow will be even better…
the hardest part of down winding is walking back to your car. i can paddle and paddle for miles and miles without getting tired. but when i walk for miles, i get tired and my legs hurt. nobody picked me up today so i was almost going to call an Uber. haha. so the longer i foil, the longer i walk. soon this walk will be easy for me because down winding will be a daily routine this Summer…
