Looked like a lake today! Perfect conditions for swimming. I just snapped these two pictures and left the beach. My spring vacation is officially over.
Another day of small waves. Even smaller than last Friday. It was a warm day – spring has finally sprung! The waves were so small that even catching one was difficult. I decided to do lots of paddling practice and I paddled the width of the beach. My arms were tired after that!
Today was the last Friday of my spring vacation. I was looking forward to a good day of surfing… Not very promising. So we decided to check out some other breaks…
No joking – today was a pretty good day… The waves were smaller than yesterday’s but what would happen with the changing tide? A shortboarder waiting for a suitable wave… Showing how to ride the little waves!
Another beautiful sunrise… The waves were noticeably better than yesterday too… Had a great session – broke out the old K-Board and gave it a go. It was amazing how different the ride is!
Pretty quiet day at Yoshida – the wind was a bit brisk. I met a longboarder who usually surfs here on the weekends and Monday mornings. BTW, I also wore my 3 mm for the first time this year. It was cold but certainly easier to paddle!

It rained the night before, so everyone was expecting some waves this morning – not so exciting is it? Several surfers pulled up to the beach, watched these waves for a minutes and drove off. If they had been a bit more patient, here’s what they would have seen…
Another peaceful morning at Yoshida. These pictures were taken around 7 am – as the tide came up, some decent waves came. Not a great session – but not a bad one either.
I forgot to put a memory card in the digital camera. Here’s a grainy picture taken with my cellphone. Doesn’t look great but it was a fun session.
