Well the anticipated big south swell hit and did not disappoint!!!
Prayot, Grant, Duke and I were out here. From shore all you could see were huge pitching waves.
Medium tide so paddling out was not too bad (and I followed Andrew and Dean pretty closely through their secret channel).
The wind was super light through the dawn patrol.
Back on No.40
And to work with the bigger waves and not get into a critical takeoff situation, the AFS Silk 850/HA40 is on deck.
It took a couple of waves to get used to the different feel of the Silk 850 (compared to the Enduro 900/HA40), but after that it was full throttle!
Prayot was on the SUP he recently acquired (low ball special for a unicorn). He caught a monster and almost got barreled.
Duke caught a couple of big ones, then got cleaned up by the second biggest set of the day. Grant and I got his board back to him.
Then the biggest set of the day came through more towards Fenceline - Grant picked off one and was screaming for joy the whole ride! The wave was closing in on triple overhead -
I got some good sized waves and as the session went on and I got refamiliarized with the Silk 850, I started getting some carves in. But there were a few that were too big and I was going too fast to do anything but make sure I wasn't getting overtaken by a giant section.
11 waves and a few missed waves by both data sets.
Freaking EPIC!!!
