On this Veteran's Day, I just wanted to take it easy with La and Marlon.
First up was a dawn patrol with Marlon and longboards! Although if I knew what the surf was going to be like, I think I would have brought the Sweet Potato.
Marlon brought his recently made longboard and I brought the Viking.
The surf was fun - and all the regular foilers were looking at me funny (like what are you doing on a surfboard???). I caught several fun ones and didn't want to get too tired (long, fun day ahead).
W:139/PW:2/FD:80/F:5/S:20
Next up was errands.
I fixed our gutters on the side of the house I couldn't previously reach (you'll have to ask me about this in person if you are interested). Then I got the last coat of epoxy onto the board Greg asked me to fix. Then I cleaned up the garage a bit - and then we headed out.
We hit some stops and had to fight through some traffic, but ended up at the North Shore. We got some new threads at Xcel (mahalo for the discount!!!), and then ended up at the new Patagonia shop!
Pretty cool shop! They had some pretty cool imagery up on the walls - one was Moona Whyte kitesurfing a sizeable barrel at what looked like Teahupo'o
Which reminded me I used to do stuff like that - and that subsequently made me dig out some equipment (and get mentally prepared to do it again). I really haven't had the desire to kitesurf because you can't do it near where I live (have to drive to Kailua or Mokuleia).
Maybe it'll be fine to take a little drive....
And lastly, Greg came over to pick up the board I repaired for his daughters.
