a perfect little shore break projectile

Finally got in the water after a long break.

Standard issue high tide Huntington.

A little flop over outside which soon flattens out altogether
 with the occasional inside reform when the stars align.

After a couple of decent ones it occurs to me that to optimize the situation  I would need to start out with a larger more buoyant vehicle for the take off and to deal with the outside mush
and greatly reduced volume on the inside if a racetrack section presents itself.

 Wait for it...

THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I RIDE A MAT!
 (well that and it makes the walk a mile down the beach from the parking lot much easier)

 So the paddle out and take off are at the normal end of the mat-for-a-mushy-day spectrum.

Somewhere mid wave,  after the cut back,  if the wave looks like it might make a good inside reform

 a quick grab and tug

 and a litter of air is decanted

making the mat 
a perfect little 
shore break projectile

sort of like
a skipping stone
