Surf-Work balance
I have put a new trick up my sleeves: there's a coffee shop in the town next to the beach. I can squeeze in a drive there between meetings, then setup in the coffee shop, take a few calls or work check-ins there. Getting over to the beach takes 10 Minutes max.
So I did that, and spent an extended lunch break in the water, catching some waves.
It was a good session, small waves but long rides. There are those days when the waves don't break and just keep going. Is it the off-shore wind perhaps?
And going out also served me as proof-of-concept, that this strategy works, and allows me to manage work and getting out to surf on a weekday.
