Marlon and I got in a late afternoon shortboarding session.
The waves had some size to them, but the wind from earlier in the day did the usual - chopped the surface up into some challenging conditions.
Marlon brought his Seaside and had a blast. He actually went in early and then broke out his drone.
I brought the Hypto Krypto with the Grennan fins. I'm thinking that a more upright fin would have been more appropriate for the size waves today. The raked Grennans felt slower.
My first wave was the best of the lot - long ride where I had to maneuver to stay in the pocket. Surfing a shortboard actually felt funny... the board wasn't pushing back and if I hit a flat section, it didn't want to pump (because it isn't a hydrofoil).
I caught several more but would either get mowed over by the white wash, or the wave would go over a deep spot and fizzle out. Foiling has definitely impacted my surfing.
Tomorrow the swell is supposed to come down - if I go, I'll likely bring the Sweet Potato.
