Went and stayed at Marriott at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra, FL this weekend. What an awesome hotel that is. Pictures from the hotel grounds and my boogie boarding jaunt follow. Surfing was very good considering. The sets that were coming in came in rapid succession. Not many rest periods in between at all. Unfortunately I forgot my board so I had to rent one. Fortunately, though, they let me use it free of charge for the time I was there. The way these waves came in and the rapidity of them kept myself, and many other surfers, to really get good runs in. A good wave is one that "runs" down the beach and not straight into it. That way, you can ride down the wave as it is forming until it either dies out or you pull out. These waves were coming straight into the beach so you couldn't do anything but ride straight in. But it felt alright regardless since it has been almost 20 years since I've rode one of these. Here. Later, QD.
