  I like being able to look at game footage to see what I’m doing right and wrong in the water. I’ve also had a run of being in the water watching other people—kids, amateurs, experts—bodysurfing. Every wave’s a lesson. #stoke #bodysurfing

  Got a flu shot. Then PB. Was scheduled for COVID boost and flu shot but out of stock where I went so it’ll have to wait. As I left I chatted about ocean conditions with an elderly tourist couple from AZ who asked me about The Mighty Pacific. I wish I’d done some Harris electioneering on those nice Zonies!

  I’ve been riding waves a while. Sometimes I can find @surfline footage of rides through @dawnpatrol.app … and I’ve been learning to use @procreate Dreams to animate overlays on the rides. For now they’re in Instagram Stories though I intend to put them on websites I have better control over too. Always more to learn and improve in and out of the water.

  Got up before dawn, walked 5 miles, saw dolphin, sea lion, fish, lobster carcasses, the Mushroom House, walked on rocks, broke a flip flop, rode waves at Blacks and Shores, scavenged 6 kinds of washed-up eyewear, caught many waves, watched my cousin catch many waves, and stayed out too long.

  NO SWIMMING. Says the San Diegi Municipal Code. Surf zone enforcement will end when summer ends. I operate a middle way. I can play in swim zone or surf zone as long as I’m not a jerk.

  That’s Peyton behind me. She and her friend Margaret wanted someone “who knows what they’re doing in the water” to be with them so they could swim out to the end of Crystal Pier (872 feet long). I followed along. They swam great. I told them so. Last year I had a surfer tell me he thought I was a sea lion. Today I was an emotional support dog. But truly? The lifeguards were on duty. I will write more about this and my other water adventures soon.
