With a favorable (2-3 ft) forecast at Pacifica State Beach, I decided to restart my SUP surfing season. I woke at 06:30 (having preloaded all the gear in my Toyota Sienna the night before).
After a quick stop for fuel, I drove to Pacifica State Beach and arrived at 07:53. Although it was early, the parking lot was already almost full! I found a convenient spot and put on my 4/3mm wetsuit.
I attached a leash to my 2021 Fanatic Allwave 9'3", got the carbon paddle, and walked to the beach. There were lots of surfers in the water and one other SUP surfer. I surfed for 90 minutes and caught a few nice rides. No wind and no clouds—a gorgeous October day!
A surf contest used up part of the beach for contestants. Very nice, loud Hawaiian surf music was playing too.
I enjoyed the SUP surfing and would have stayed longer if conditions had been better. Next time, remember to arrive early to get a parking spot.
