Patched up the 7′2 and paddled out at 52nd st. Still some good swell but the conditions were pretty crummy. The chop made the combo swell hard to predict, and more often than not I got torn apart when I chose to drop in. Definitely got my share of paddling, duck diving, and going head over heels over the falls in though. I guess sometimes you need to work on those less enjoyable aspects of surfing.
