The wind came back today!!! I rigged for good conditions, but we ended up with nuking winds!!!
Nice high tide and some fun waves still rolling in -
I pumped up the North Nova Pro 5.0 - but truthfully save a few lulls (one of which I went down on even with the 5.0) I could have easily used a 4.2 or smaller.
And going for a change today, I set up No.36 with the SK8 950/C200
Typical tradewind day - ENE winds. Good direction for nailing outbound tacks onto waves - of which this picture is a screen shot from Roland's video taking this afternoon.

For most of the session the 5.0 was slightly overpowered - I was thinking I should have pumped up the Mode Pro 4.8
Decent stats today -
With the strength of the wind, I was able to drop back towards Cabins and take advantage of the waves breaking over there.
You can see on the chart that I pretty much left the waves before hitting the inside (where the surfers were lined up).
Of note - I did get two goofy footed jibes in (back to back at that) today. I thought Roland got video of that, but he didn't (or didn't send that one).
With the power in the wind, I think I could have easily used the Ezzy 4.0 and the SK8 750/C195
Tomorrow should be close to today's conditions. And Thursday is now the nuking day.
I think I'll use the above equipment tomorrow and drop down to the Reedin SW2 3.6 on Thursday.
