Plappy and not-so-plappy

Today I've just finished surfing with my neighbour Kostya.

We had a blast exploring the Pacific Coast Highway, or PCH for short, and checking out some new beaches.

We found one at the eastern end of Ventura County, California, USA.

Anyway, we had a fantastic morning of surfing. We did some exploring (we're both relatively new to surfing in this area) and we got some pretty uncrowded waves - by Californian standards.

We had our part of the beach all to ourselves when we were out...

Even though it was only half a foot to maybe one foot, with the sun, clear water, sand bottom, clean waves and fun shapes, we had a stack of fun!

An annoying little ding.

But, as often happens in inconsequential surf, for some unknown reason, I copped my board nicely in my shin - leaving broken glass on the top and bottom of my rail. I don't know why this never happens when the surf is big and heavy...

Yes, I am a sissy: I did want to put a band-aid on my battle wound.
