Interesting session today -
Wind was blowing side on shore - at a good clip, then not, then even stronger, then not.
Pumped up the North Nova Pro 5.0
And setup the F One Eagle 1090/DW210, Evolution Cedrus Wind 87.5 cm mast on No.32
Stats are indicative of lots of time floating around in the long lulls.
When I first went out, the wind was strong and steady. I got in a few runs and then hit the first lull. Prayot and Zach were paddling out and the wind picked back up. After a few more runs, another lull hit.
When the wind picked back up, it stayed up for a bit. I was going further and further out towards 5-Os and on one run, I picked up one of the bigger waves of the day. I jibed on to it and was riding back in, when I saw a shark fin pop up and we "shared" the wave for what seemed a really long time. It was probably 25' away, but even that far it looked big.
I managed to stay up for quite some time after that.
That is until I hit the last lull - the blue line drifting out to the west. I got saved by one of the last gusts of the day and headed in.
Close correlation between the wind graph and my speed chart.
Challenging but fun session!!!
