paddling out into an empty line up like this always gets me excited over and over again ...

You have to thank GOD for rewarding your efforts , now soak it it up and enjoy the isolation and moment, empty line up are like winning lotto these days.

I had a moment similar and was racking my wave count up and in heaven ,but started thinking it would be good if someone was around in case of an incident, sure enough my wish was granted a boat arrived, i was happy to see it, until 8 crew instantly paddled out

Tar for your stoke and keeping the dream alive.

Posting that is cruel..... but keep it up

so, so true ... sometimes fortune favors those who can afford to be patient, cheers !
