Pat did a Long Beach to Newport run yesterday. 6-8 foot West swell, 22 mph sustanined wind. total distance was 35 km with warm up/down.
Max speed was 22 km, He did 29 km in 1 hour 58 minutes...just surfing and having fun, not going hard. He went alone, but had full kit.
PFD, Leash,and cell phone. Nice day for Patrick!!

Good warm up and then 2 sets of 70" on, 20" off x 4. rest 2 between sets. Then 2 sets of 30" on 10" off rest 2 between setss. This is speed endurance with lactic acid built up/tolerance. Afterwards we did 20' wash riding, each pulling 5' at 75 % effort.
NICE! Ed, Eva, me and KC.

Anne and Joe Zellner from Minnesota came for the weekend for some surfski lessons. What a nice couple. We had great fun in the Ocean. Pat got Anne going in and out through the surf at Newport Beach and 10th street gave us a 6' shore break with me in the double. I wiped her out on the beach. Darn it, she didn't lose her Epic hat. 10th street takes all my visors, hats and sunglasses. Anyway, thank you for coming all the way out here. Next time we will get a down wind and some good video.

Rich in a K1 for a time trial, Philippe, Ed, Eva, me and Sean...6 x 1000 m on 7'. Turned into a killer, ended up doing 8...
Course work is always so hard. As Sean said, it slows down time, the longest 5 minutes ever.

Bruce from Ventura, Ed from LA, Sean from Malibu, Eva and I thrashed it out in the bay today. 2 x 5', 4 x 40". 3 x 3', 4 x 20", 4 x 2' and 5 x 1 minute.
Rest between 1' and more between sets. This one is hard if you go hard.
