Practice pays off

About to be swallowed

Sunday we stopped to play a bit in South Bauline where the swell was breaking over some submerged rocks. The swell would rush for shore but every now and then it would send standing waves in all directions.

I sat, camera in one hand and paddle in the other, to take some shots of Clyde. I got too close as a standing wave rushed towards me. Oops, can't brace with one hand so over I went. No big deal. I let the camera go, grabbed the paddle with both hands, set-up and back above water.

I managed my first combat roll earlier this summer in Middle Cove. I wasn't sure if it was skill or a fluke. Once may be lucky but twice tells me that practice is paying off. That is gratifying.
