Last night I was quite tired and didn’t feel too motivated to make the long drive to the beach. Although classes don’t start until next week, I was tired after spending all day making handouts for the first week of classes. The weather report predicted overcast weather and a 30% chance of rain and on top of that, the wave forecast didn’t look so promising. To make a long story short, here are some pictures: (I think you will figure out what I did today)
That’s right. I went to Tatadohama. Went by local roads – left at around 3:30 am and was in the water just after 6 am.
How was the surf?
If you look closely, you can see a big grin on my face!
Was the water cold? You betcha! I estimate that about half of the people out there this morning were wearing boots. I stayed in the water for around 2 hours and that was enough for me – for some reason, I seem to lose a lot of body heat through the top of my head.
Was the beach crowded? At 6 am, there were 10 or so surfers in the water. This is what it looked like just before 9 am. (Just for the record, Kazumi took the two pictures of me, and the picture below was stolen from this website.
