The south swell filled in so Marlon and I headed out once I got home from work. The tide was high again at +1.9'. The wind was side shore - it picked up every now and then, but it wasn't chopping up the surface. Marlon had some awesome rides - slightly overhead on the set waves!!!
Obviously I brought out the Dually Stubby. It was a hair squirrelly on my first couple of waves (it is a 5'10" after all), but my third wave was a gem! Green wave takeoff, solid drop and bottom turn up into a lined up wall. I turned up and back a few times and I popped off the back. I had a couple more similar waves, but the crowd was making it hard to pick off the best waves (again, this being a 5'10"). On one missed wave, I belly rode the board and without much effort, I made it all the way to the beach. My last one was similar - just kept prone and rode the wave all the way in - a sign that this board has a good rocker line. This board has been properly anointed!!!
