Went to Hickam yesterday after work. The wind was supposed to be nuking - but it was far from it. Good thing I brought the bigger wings (since I don't trust the forecasters). I bolted on the HS1850 and pumped up the Ensis 6.0 - session savers!!!
I was going to just stay on the inside since the wind looked light - but Harris was already out, had come in and said it was blowing better outside. We made a beeline for Firsts. The waves were small, but every now and then there was a good set pulling through. The wind was steadier outside - stayed out there for about 40 minutes before it looked like the wind was dropping.
You can see the drop in wind around 4:30pm. I could have used the 5.2 - but since La had repaired the 6.0, I have been wanting to test out the patch. Glad to report its all good.
And from the watch track, you can see the wind dip also. For the most part, I was up and riding - down only on botched transitions.
Towards the end of the session, I did try and do some flatwater jumping. Its hard to tell for sure since you can't see under the board, but I did feel like I broke free of the water.
I felt redeemed at peace with the Ocean. I'm hoping I paid my dues the last few sessions.
