Negative low tide this morning. There was some light wind blowing - just enough to put texture on the water, but not much more than that. And the swell was on when it was on, with some lulls.
I brought Kalani's SUP so I could give it back to him. I also brought No.31 and the Progression 170 - but looking at the shallow water depth, I opted for the Viking.
Kalani and Dennis had their Foil Drive setups (Kalani's inaugural run). Dennis has got this wired - takes off on waves that barely have any carry, and with the setup he has he can pump back out also.
Caught several from the outside and rode them pretty much all the way in. Then had to paddle all the way back out. Normally one would look at a board like the Viking and think this is way easier to paddle than a shortboard and that it is the EASY button. In my experience, the Viking forces me to expend a lot more energy than if I was surfing a shortboard or the TJ Everyday - this is primarily because I do a ton more long distance paddling and I try and catch waves from the far outside where they are still lumps. I ended up going home to help La at the yard sale in our neighborhood and after I took a really deep nap - because of all the paddling I did.
Good session!!!
