I think I wiped out in every way possible but with deep water and no reef, it didn't bother me. Great workout but I didn't ride a single wave without being thrown off. Oh, well. It's still excitin ...

It's a freezing cold morning in San Francisco. The sun is out but there is a chill in the air, winter is definitely coming early. I'm full but hungry.
