Relieved
Placed 2nd in my first-round heat and advanced to the finals tomorrow. I was super nervous before paddling out. As I watched from the beach, it didn't look as big as I had expected. Would call it 1-2 with rare 3s. But the tide was low, and the sections were running fast. Those in the know said it'll start firing when the tide starts rising. There was one "bomber" set right before the end of the heat. I caught one of those, but like all the other bigger waves that were coming through this morning, it pinched shut at the section by the channel.
I'm so-o stoked I made it. Wonder if it'll be bigger tomorrow? Gonna surf later this afternoon to practice.
