This could get into quite a habit, surfing, two days on the trot, here on the Lincs coast!

You'll have gathered I went in again today. What's more I had Ben with me also for what was effectively his first East Coast surf proper. There had been a body board thrash with Brox's younger lad Stephen a couple of years back; and an aborted session in February. But today he got in properly and equipped himself admirably in quite messy conditions. What's more, with a plethora of fisherman positioned all along the beach [where did they come from?!], and a bit of a cross-shore drift due to a higher tide, and a slightly larger swell than yesterday; the lad did brilliantly in fact. In the 45 minutes or so he was in he caught two memorable rides and got trashed in the shore dump as he came in! All noted by Naips and Russ who were there also, Suz who was watching from the beach, and one or two passers by. Well done Ben, you did yer old man proud!! Pity he never came yesterday as well. Never mind next time.

My session didn't last much longer, maybe another half hour or so, but some rides were there to be had, even if they did get ended trying to avoid the numerous fishing lines! One in particular where an impromtu limbo was required. I've never seen so many anglers on this stretch of coast, so I guess it is something to consider the next time I go to Huttoft. A close encounter with a seal finsihed my time in the water although I hasten to add, not because of any antics on it's behalf.

Just a footnote. In previous loggings I'd suggested I hadn't been in here on the East Coast since February. Wrong! I'd overlooked [hardly surprisingly!] a short splash at Skeg' in June. Mind you if you read the write up, maybe it wasn't worth it! laters...
