Nice high tide (but I still touched bottom trying to launch). Fun sized surf on the sets. But choppy surface texture and winds that were unsettled - way up then way down.
I didn't have confidence in the wind, so I setup No.40 with the Enduro 900/HA40.
Pumped up the North Nova Pro 5.0 - which turned out to be a really good call.
Zach and Eddy were out already when I pulled up into the parking lot. Eli was observing the conditions. Roland launched well after everyone else and Duke pulled up when my gear was drying.
I had to paddle out a considerable distance to get to the wind line. From there - it was a game of "don't fall down - because you might not get up again"
This chart didn't relay the real conditions.
The front end of the session was not fun. But the back 2/3's was pretty darn fun - large set waves that ran for considerable distances. In fact - I rode them too far in and had to pump back out to avoid getting clobbered by the waves breaking on the inside.
This has been a fun run of wind. Tomorrow is La's birthday so likely no session for me (but instead I get to celebrate my lovely wife's favorite holiday!!!)
