What constitutes a surf session?
To this humble blogger, a surf session is having paddled out at a spot, then paddling in and walking somewhere far enough so that it makes sense to take one's leash off. Is this criteria perfect? No, but if you don't like it start your own surf blog (and send me the link so I can ROAST it)!
The beachbreak was working better than Saturday which illustrates close to nothing.
Surprisingly, there were 5-7 dudes bobbing at El Pedrero. That wave was working but extremely lazily so, as was evident by the hard time there were having staying on the waves.
I had a couple of ok off the lips on which I aborted due to the wave pitching me onto the very shallow flats. I would get thrown ever so slightly, look down and kick my board up. Sure enough, both times I came up in knee-depth or less water.
I saw a white horse trotting from El Majahual but lost it when it turned inland.
I had a left on which I did a hard non-roundhouse cutback. I would have liked to have seen the footage on that one as it's not something I'd done before.
I had to go in due to an appointment in town. The wind was creeping up when I made the decision but I could have gotten a couple more.
On my way back to my ride, the horse and I crossed paths and I was relieved to see it hadn't any machete wounds, as that is very unfortunately something young people sometimes do to pass the time/take out frustration around these parts.
As promised, here are the top three songs that get me raring to paddle out and tear waves apart (then nearly unfailingly flaying on to my back).
Honorable Mention:

Without further ado, here is today's countdown:
Number Five:
Awesome guitar work and the drums get me going. GREAT production work too! It turns out this girl with whom I went to high school is engaged to the lead singer, really proud of her.
Number Four:
This is a song that is very centering to me. The video especially reminds me of how I came up. Having this song come up on the GuyPod before a sesh reminds me not only of where I've been, but how far I've come.
Number Three:
Great texture on the guitar sound and don't-f-with-me lyrics. One day I'll be so amped before a session from this song and I'll talk back to a dude who snaked me and it'll end with my getting my ass kicked.
Honorable Mention:
Number Two:
This is an instrumental that never fails to get me going. I love the tone on the guitar and the percussion on this song is without question my favorite of all time on any song.
Number One:
Very simple song but the staccato vocal rhythm changes passion seeping through get me crankin! I love the driving drums after nearly every chorus.
