big SUP waveriding

Headed out to old man's yesterday late afternoon for a quick SUP session.  I was surprised to see waves breaking at old man's.  Paddled out and caught a couple of waves.  Still tough to turn the board with strong offshores and a side wabble, but I did manage to catch a couple of nice waves.  Two other guys in the line up, but they were very supportive of my antics.  Had a great time, caught one wave that peaked right as I got on.. saw the nose start to dive down as I jumped back on the tail to pump.. saved myself, but it was a close call especially without a leash.
