When I got home from work, I took a power nap to wait for the wind to back off.
I took a little bit too long of a nap -
The tide had dropped considerably and the waves were at the point where they were closing out on the main break.
Norm was out (and on a Jimmy Lewis trench board). Roland was also out and messing with an Insta360 X5
This was the perfect setup for today's conditions!!! No.43 with the AFS Silk 850/USurf 135
I had the motor pod setup on the AFS UHM 75 Skinny mast and these were made for each other - super slippery without any weird mast reactions - pure carving with minimal drag
I had to go far outside (where the big bombs were going off yesterday) in order to takeoff on waves that would carry me for a bit. If you stayed too far in the waves would be flatter (and you'd waste more battery building up takeoff speed).
I love it when the waves give you a curved section to do a high speed carving turn on - the S turns on these paths were made possible by the energy peaking the waves and the AFS Silk 850 V1
12 rides in 42 that's a wave every 3.5 minutes!!!!
I absolutely love this setup!!!!
Not sure what tomorrow's conditions will be like. The forecast calls for southerly winds feeding a building low pressure system to the north of the islands - that'll probably mess up the surf along the south shore (but make for epic conditions up at Mokuleia).
