Afternoon session at WPB. The wind was strong - whitecaps everywhere!!!
There was some surf as well - belly to chest high (but it did start to get drowned out by the rising tide).
I brought out No.36, the Project Cedrus 90 cm aluminum mast, the Spitfire 840/325P, and the Reedin SW2 4.2
Zach was already out.
The conditions were perfect for the gear I setup!!!
Trades from the ENE -
The Spitfire surfs so well! People complain about the pitch instability - but I think it lends to its ability to respond to the swell and turn hard. The swell direction and the wind didn't line up to the point where I could throw hard tacks - I did get some in, but not like NE trades days.
It was the gusts that pushed the 4.2 - but as long as I was up on foil, the light winds didn't hinder the rides.
The long down time was a big lull - but other than that the wind was enough.
Until the end of my session - when it dropped off.
That's when Roland, Prayot and Duke showed up.
I had to go pick up Marlon so I didn't stay. They said a Tiger was seen outside (glad I left).
I'm glad Roland was finally able to get back out!
