I didn't end up going to Hickam - I went to WPB. I couldn't break out of work when I wanted to, so I figured it was better to go for a swim (the low tide paddle out at WPB), then have to sit in traffic (leaving Hickam during the evening rush hour).
I even got to take a short nap before heading out - bonus!
From the beach the wind looked decent, but the waves looked pretty small. Which turned out to be wrong - the waves were waist to chest and pretty consistent. The wind was from the east again and really dependable.
I went with the SW2 5.2 and the SK8 950 today. Was perfect for today's conditions!
Roland made it out about 45 minutes after I was in the line up already. He got some serious air today - and he is landing them nicely.
I was concentrating on carving today - and the SK8 feels so good on waves.
The 5.2 was perfectly powered today. No issues with sore forearm tendons.
My heelside tacks were not entirely smooth today. Either my timing was off, or there wasn't a ton of power in the waves. I ended up stalling a bunch at the crest and would have to pump to keep going and make the drop.
I did get a toe side tack in on the inside (I need to force myself to do this more to get it to the point where this is muscle memory).
Again the SW2 5.2 was perfect today!
Really fun session today!
