Great Fliteboard session at Walkerville with a seal #27

Beautiful morning and smooth water off Walkerville made for a superb Fliteboard session. The small swell coming around Bird Rock was fun to ride.

I dodged some floating seaweed recent North Easterlies had blown. It was hard to spot when heading North with sun reflecting off the water.

I thought I saw a surfer in the water down near the camping reserve. It disappeared when I approached, then a fin popped up. I briefly wondered if it was a shark but then another fin appeared.

It was a large seal lolling on its side in a large clump of seaweed.  I passed about 50m away with the seal unconcerned.

I stayed 400m out to avoid most of the floating weed.

I stayed on the foil most of this session, including on some heelside and toeside 360 degree turns.
