It wasn’t such a good day for surf; however you can still get something useful from it, and have a bit of fun.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Paddle out through – working break timings and looking for gaps,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Then paddle across just on the edge of ‘the break’ – keeping the boat running and working timing of the about-to-break waves,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
