Marlon and I dawn patrolled yesterday morning. Waves were bigger - chest to head high on the sets. Definitely one of the first south swells of the year!
Tide was really low... but I went ahead and prone foiled (4'8", 75cm PC mast, Kujira 1210 front foil). With the size of the swell, I was able to stay in deeper water to catch and ride the waves.
You can see which board Marlon chose - and he had his new hatchet fin. I saw him catch several waves.
I caught a few good rides, but spent most of the morning eating it on steep/pitchy takeoffs. In fact, Marlon commented when we were back at the house how he and his crew were watching me takeoff, but I didn't make it and the board/foil took off for low earth orbit then come back with a big splashdown. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't win (I probably should have rigged the 4'6" with the 980).
