A bit after sunrise at Sunset Beach in Orange County. Punctuated by freighters offshore waiting on the Port of Los Angeles, some soul surfers, one paddleboarder, one swimmer, and a bunch of dolphins feeding.

Was feeling poorly yesterday and took some time to assemble my water gear into clarity. Twin foci.

Waveriding is partly motor memory and partly improvisational. I’m happy to practice.

Beach Hazards Statement did not disappoint. Waves big. Tried two handplanes for the first time. Hour session wore me out fully.

Since the summer ended the sun goes down earlier. The lifeguards go off duty earlier. When they do, they remind folks about safety, they remind folks that alcohol and smoking are not allowed on the beach, and that “if you experience a water-related emergency to dial 911 and ask for lifeguards, we have a 24 hour service.” And tonight: they wished a new married couple to the north of the lifeguard tower “congratulations.” #sandiego #lifeguards @lifeguardsofsandiego
