Sub'n For Shorebreak (No Waves, No Bueno), the Rogue's session log.

Paddlin' hard before the shore hits. 38th and Castles, 6/29/23.
     Poor attendance on the beach. Shorebreak has been epidemic. And' when it's not, I'm not...there. It's been a hot one. The summer so far. Always tends to flatten out the surf. The lack of sandbars off the shore, create dangerous conditions. Breakin' right up the beach. No Bueno. Despite being busy with a lot of company this summer, still hittin' the bay on the Jet. Fishin'. Island ponies. And, some dirt track thoroughbreds. Can't help it. Regardless of the quality substitutions in time...miss the swell. Say it again. No waves. No Bueno.
Annual fishin' of the East Channel.

Ponies out... Assateague, Late June, 2023.

Ocean Downs... won the "Place" bet!
     Been savin' for the first surf sesh. Wave Hunter IPA. Vitamin Sea Brewing. Appropriate. Pours a hazy, pale-gold. Finger wide, foamy, white head. Decent stickiness of the lacing. Immediate aromas of pine cones and lemon drops. Tell-tale grapefruit in the flavor with a strong lemon peel presence. Bracing slap of hops in the finish. Had a 4-pack of 16 ouncers. Would've taken a sixer. Yeah, got 'em for the badass can graphics. Not a lemon fan, but good stuff. At 6.3%... like having your back to the waves, it'll sneak up on ya. Close to shore? No Bueno! Rated a B+/A-.
"For me personally, a couple beers
before a surf doesn’t hurt. Actually
 does the opposite. Little bit of liquid
 confidence clears the head and makes
 me less likely to hesitate."
