Thurs PM ride

[bryanleighty]

i got 2+ hours of good riding in at backside.

rode by myself for over an hour before anyone showed up.. i saw one kite flying at EB.

couple new riders showed up. as i was putting stuff away one new rider got stuck WAY down wind..almost at the bridge.. i told him it was a shitty place for a new rider.. i saw another help him to shore before the bridge so I am sure he is ok.. just a long ass haul back up the shoreline.

i do hope he is ok, but when i saw him go down and see him in trouble my first thoughts were "told ya so".. i feel like shit saying that.. but its true. the other rider was down there helping him immediately so I knew he was going to be fine. Just looked like he was having a very tough time body dragging to his board and getting stuck way down wind. yesterday the tide was moving insanely fast. very very difficult to maintain upwind. i wrecked on a failed backroll and got pulled a ways off my board. i got my footing in the waist deep water and within seconds my board was flying past me with the tide.

why are new riders showing up at backside??!??!
