Sounds awesome! Was that in SoCal?

Surf board is old school bottom scratchers dive platform approved. Paddle out to 30' of water in the cover and shoot a couple 200# BSB for dinner wearing no fins and a wool speedo.

Nah, here I use my kayak. Been on a few vacations over the years with friends or family that prefers to surf rather than fish so it felt natural rather than rent a kayak when there was one available
