Out the door at 6:25 AM. The Wave sunrise session. We went Main Wave route w/ extra time for return navigation starting at 6:25 AM. Wind stayed mild and made exposed sections feel easier. Sand sections were soft but easy to follow w/ track lines. Golden hour delivered. Bottom line: Study the route at home. Would do again in a heartbeat.
