This is a great point, especially about being consistent in your direction.
Nothing has been said about beyond the surf Zone. A major part of wave
sailing is picking the right wave and position, and because most all of the
riding is done as a 'right' (going down wind) the sailors coming in from the
outside are almost always really pinching to get back upwind. The normal
Starboard rule DOES NO APPLY! I always let the sailor looking for that wave
have the right of way when its even near a close decision. I've never seen
this documented, but This is the way it works.
The coast has been fantastic this last week. I was getting tweaked with all
the fog and the flat sessions. We've had wind and some real waves all week.
Well, hopefully we got one more chance, Friday and maybe Saturday if we're
lucky.
