Hit Hickam with Kalani today. The wind was nuking, but the waves were on the small side.
I brought the SW2 4.7 and 4.2 - I should have brought the 3.6. I pumped up the 4.2 and bolted on the ART999/400P to the Evolution Cedrus mast on No.34
I ended up talking to Jim, Bill and Matt - so I was out on the water for just over an hour.
No.34 did not disappoint - in fact Matt and Arvin asked to take a test drive and they loved it. Gained speed quickly to engage the front foil, did not lift entering transitions, and felt well balanced was the feedback I got.
I had taken it out to Firsts and managed to snag a couple of rare breaking waves. I can turn this board as hard as I wanted to - so I think a 6'0" is a good balance in capability and length. The gem for today was tacking onto the biggest breaker and getting to do several top to bottom turns (riding goofy foot).
Yup - I could have used the 3.6 today!
I had planned on switching out the ART999 for the Spitfire 840 - but when I came in, I let the other guys ride the setup as is. By the time they were done, I figured I had better go pickup La and Marlon.
Fun session today - and great getting to catch up with Bill, Jim and Matt.
