Uhhh - it was bigger today
Same gear
Uhhh - it was BIGGER today.
I was already way outside - but twice a set came through that was pitching lip 300 yards further outside. I tried in vain to motor further inside - but got picked up and thrown anyways. Probably the biggest I've ever seen WPB.
These were leash breaker sets - probably 6-8' on the back sides. I think to catch those and ride them (instead of just being along for the ride), you'd need to tow in with a super small foil (Silk 650) and a jetski.
This was one of the medium sized waves I caught. The big ones were double this.
Duke and Prayot were out also -
I had a couple of really big rides and several what would normally be huge rides. I was pretty much just trying not to get smashed.
After catching one and sharing the ride with Prayot (it was a bigger wave), I looked and my battery was getting low enough that I needed to start heading in.
I took that wave all the way in and just beyond where the shortboard line up was, I was in regular overhead. The waves were so carveable at this point. I caught a few and foiled in front of Roland (who was surfing).
10 rides this morning. Today was definitely not about quantity - if you picked wrong you'd have paid the price.
A couple of the spikes around the 55 minute mark was me trying to motor at full throttle further inside to not get eaten by the white water.
Another EPIC day!!!
