Noe had a concert today so I opted to get in a Foil Drive dawn patrol.
There was surf, and the wind was up - so it didn't look so good. It looks so not good that Marlon opted out.
It was also a super low tide... made for a long paddle out.
I brought the same setup as last time (at Hickam) - Spitfire 960/Skinny 365 on the 85cm Project Cedrus mast. The performance I got last time was not a fluke - this shit surfs!!!
The conditions were better than they looked - but the waves were a little hard to catch. Once you were on them, it was awesome.
Got some long rides. Also got some rides on slightly overhead peaks. And I got to shoot from one side of a breaker over to the other side and back again.
17 waves by my count. I know some of the fainter readings were the botched takeoffs I had when the chop was enough to throw my balance off.
When I was back on the beach, Marvin was headed to the launch. I told him it was pretty choppy with the wind.
Even with all the chop, I had so many swooping turns and bouncy cutbacks - totally awesome rides!!!
