Evening Session - 10/19/2023

The forecasts were calling for today to be the biggest of this late season south swell run.  There was some size - but again Tuesday seemed to be the best of the recent run.

The winds were pretty calm today - nice glassy conditions.

Marlon opted to take pictures in the surf today.

Thinking the waves would be bigger, I brought the Cymatic.  Every now and then, there was a good sized set rolling through - but there were relatively long lulls between.

I caught some fun ones - but if I knew it was going to be the way it was, I would have kept the Pigfish rotation going.

Now that I've been shortboarding for a while, I am starting to miss winging....

Evening Session - 10/7/2023

After running a bunch of errands (after the dawn patrol), I grabbed Marlon and we got in a session during the peak of the current swell.

The size was up from this morning, but the direction was such that a bunch of the waves were closing out.

Marlon brought his longboard and he was able to thread the needle to score a bunch of good rides.

I brought the Cymatic with the Glenn Pang thrusters.  When I was able to nab a wave with good form and size, this board and fin combo really showed its potential.  I caught a handful of those and called it a day.

Fun session (and I got lucky to double dip today)

Evening Session - 9/6/2023

I was tired when I got home today so I took a short nap.  I woke up at 4:30 and asked Marlon if he wanted to go (he said yes).

The swell was still pushing through!!!

I had debated which board to take - the Hypto Krypto with the Grennan fins, or the Cymatic with the Glenn Pang fins.

I opted for the Cymatic - and I was not disappointed!!!

I caught several waves and each was fun for different reasons - but it was my last wave where I got to carve full top to bottom turns on a slightly overhead wave and stayed with the pocket for a really long ride!!!  Plenty of projection and drive from this combo!

I decided to end the session on the great wave!  This board and fin set are perfect!!!
