Had a short session on 12m + foil board from 9:30-10:00 followed by a relaxing swim from 10:00-11:00.
The local residents were really worried about me too, a guy who was out kayaking came by to check on me and another guy suited up and paddled out on his SUP to save me even though I was giving the "one hand on head" okay sign to the beach goers.
The SUP guy really wanted me to ditch my kit and get a ride in with him but I told him I was fine and if I wanted to ditch my kit I could swim in almost as fast as tandem SUP'ing.
I always dress for the water temp, not the air temp so I was toasty warm.
Around 11:30 Adam showed up with almost the same setup. We stood around until about 11:45 and then the wind picked back up so we both headed out. By 12:30 the wind was decent enough to give my SB a try so I headed in to swap and the wind tanked hard right as I got to shore and Adam had a small swim followed by a long wade.
Freezing cold 6 degree water but balmy air temps.
Always good to get out on the water.
