I pulled a solo dawn patrol this morning. I brought the same setup as yesterday, except that I switched out the Uni300 (since I cut it down) for the HS232.
The big surprise was the waves - breaking chest high!!! I don't know where these waves came from but for the first hour, the rides were awesome!
The crowd was light - this is Monday after all. Funny thing was I contemplated paddling in, going back home to grab the HS1250 and Marlon and paddling back out. Right after I began thinking this, the waves dropped down a notch and I had a pretty long dry spell. This picture represents what the second half looked like (smaller, less consistent). Earlier was perfect!
One of the earlier waves I caught, I rode most of the way in, then pumped out and finished off with a roundhouse cut back on an incoming wave. I knew this already, but pumping back out with the 232 rear stabilizer was way easier and riding a wave produced ridiculous speed (I forgot about that - even with the HS1850).
