Post-session
Lots of fun at BMs with a friend. Much better than expected. Then three guys joined and it kinda got junk.
One of the three is a local pro. He surfs the nearby spots usually when the waves are junk elsewhere. So I've seen him in the water many times, and he never fails to blow me away. He is very, very skilled, to say the least. His style is extremely polished, smooth, and explosive. He amazes me.
When he's around, I feel very inadequate and get inhibited. That's what happened today. When he came out my session ended because I didn't feel like surfing anymore. That's just the way I am. I get intimidated and embarrassed. His ability level is so much higher that I feel worthless. He simply overawes.
