I'm a Superbeast

Even though it has warmed up significantly from last week's cold snap, there were still a lot of dead tropical fish on the beach today, like these moray eels. Poor things.





There was also a nice wind from the Southeast, and I got a good windsurfing session with a 5.5 sail and 83 liter waveboard. I had some technical difficulties setting up the boom-mount for my GoPro camera, and some more technical difficulties with my new combination waist / seat harness, but still managed to get ok video. The song I used is "Superbeast" by Rob Zombie. If you don't like heavy metal, just turn the volume down.

I know not all the fish off Fort Pierce died during the cold snap, because I saw a lot of baitfish jumping around when I was windsurfing, and there were huge flocks of Northern Gannets flying around and diving after them. There was also a pod of dolphins frolicking in the inlet, and I'll bet there were a ton of big predatory fish and sharks out there, too. I tried to climb back on my board or waterstart quickly whenever I fell down.
