The first day surfing was 3 of January. There are a lot of other surfers
around, but I managet to find a decent wave in the far end of the beach.

Lockdown again, However we can do sport and surfing is included. Not
everywhere, but in our county it has been possible . We did have some
nice sunny days during January. But also a lot of rain. |

A lot of rain during the month. I broke my Noose Secret LUFI longboard .
Had it repaired, but it feels a little different now. Also the Magic
needed to be patched up. There were 10 small holes. many days the waves
were to big. Instead I started cycling. 40 km trips. |

This spring I broke 2 of my long boards. They were repaired again, but
it is not the same. I am using the 10 foot LUFI a lot now. It is heavy,
so I have made a small trolley for it. Also I have started to surf
without socks. Makes it a on the board lot easier to "walk". I have also
made a exercise stand in the apartment, so I can practice cross step. |

how it works, Under the board there are some strips of soft foam madras
material. i try to walk along the board without the edges of board touch
floor. Better use a old board in case the foam make pressure dents. |

30 surf sessions this month, and I passed the 2000 mark. However I am in
a bit of in the doldrums. Then at the end of the month i had visitors. i
rented a 8 feet x 25 1/2 x 3 3/4 with a volume of 98 liters. It
was so easy to catch the waves. Easy to surf with a crowd around. I
started to think, maybe an 73 year old surfer need a lot volume and
board with. My problem is that when I try to move the feet on my
glass boards, that are 23 inch wide, I most often fall. I will try
some more boards with high volume and about 26 inch wide during the
summer

Surfing around Sagres. Still happy with the soft 100 liter board . It is
more responsive than a long board, which give some confidence.
Especially when the lineup is crowded. I am thinking of getting a locl
shaper to make a similar bord. During the end of the month I went
camping for two weeks. I was thinking of going to North Spain, but then
Covid numbers started to rise. |

Surfing around Sagres. A trip to Arrifana as well. Bought a 8.4 NSP
ultra vide, which is 26 inch and almost 4 thick. Also I managed to
place order for a ultra vide board, with more weight on performance. I
use the soft top on bigger days. The NSP I have only had a few weeks,
so difficult to compare. Both are boards for beginner surfers, with a
lot of rocker. |
