Phenomenal conditions this morning!!!
At 200kJ energy in the swell, there were waves breaking well over DOH!
The tide was really low - so there was that to contend with going out and coming in. And there was the slightest breeze... but putting everything together - this was pretty darn close to perfection!
The Silk 650 I ordered through Jeff is on island, but he is off island on vacation. That foil would have been perfect...
But I used the old reliable Silk 850/HA40 combo and it did not disappoint.
Duke was out on DW SUP foil, and Prayot came out a little later on the same. He later told me he was fighting to stay in control on the big takeoffs. He was using the Silk 1050.
There was one wave I caught on the outside, made the drop and saw it was a big one - Prayot paddled in further down the wave and we ended up crossing halfway - I went left and he went right.
I had several others that were just as big -
I saw several surfers catching epic rides - but they had to wait maybe three times as long as I did (and the sets were plentiful). You just had to be at the right place at the righth time if you were paddling in (on FD I don't have that limitation).
These were some seriously long rides - and you can see from the track that I was carving up the faces, not just making straight runs (thank you AFS Silk 850/HA40).
13 ridiculously great rides -
I was out already for well over an hour when Dennis and Marvin showed up.
I caught a really good one and had made my way through the surfer lineup - so I figured I'd take what I got and call it good for today - SO AWESOME TODAY!!!
