David takes me under his wing. I get my first big swell shots.







David took me under his wing yesterday and brought me shooting with him. I have to admit I felt a bit intimidated. I wasn't sure how anything would turn out. Would the swell turn on? Would the lighting kill the shot? Would I choke? It all crossed my mind as I sat back and followed what David was doing.  He was a good teacher. Guiding me, showing me his tricks, keeping me entertained as the conditions looked iffy at best and then got me stoked as his persistence and knowledge turned us on to the perfect spot at the perfect time.

He knows what he is doing for sure and the two of us balanced each other out. He guided me on some techincal things and I pushed him to find some new angles. It worked out well. We had fun and David even scored a shot on surfline's feature of the swell.

All and all it was fun and I got some shots I liked. A bonus! Thanks David for showing me the ropes. I had a blast.
