Evening Session - 10/4/2023

Another low tide session.  Waves were coming in better, but they were smaller.


I used the Sweet Potato again - I got many waves and several were slashed apart by me.


The Sweet Potato definitely is a lemonade making machine! 


Roland was out on the Progression 140 -


And busting airs!!!


I absolutely love this board - it does things that defy logic and physics.  And it is saving my foils from horrible bottom scars (that I would be getting if I felt desperate enough to foil during low tides like today).


Thanks to Marlon for taking water shots today!!!

Evening Session - 3/13/2023

Light winds, low tide and waist high swell yesterday evening!  


Marlon came with and we both longboarded.


I brought the Viking and was catching the rollers from way outside (I love that board!!!).  I caught plenty of fun waves.  Riding this board from the tail is so dynamic!!!  I try and just park in the pocket and glide (all the way in, every time - this is probably one of the better workout boards I have because I end up paddlign so much).


But Roland stole the show!!!  He's changed up his rear stabilizer shimming (going from 2.5 degrees to just about 0) and now he is literally flying!

I just don't like foiling on lower tides...

Evening Session - 8/4/2022

Another after work session.  Knowing the waves would be smaller than yesterday, Marlon brought his longboard and I rigged up the ART 1099.


I paired the 1099 with the 400P rear stabilizer.  This is such a fun combo!


Just need to make sure you bring the mast back a hair to prevent lift blowups.


Marlon went in before I did and he broke out his drone.  He got a good ride from me and Roland.


The swell was tiny - and that did not get easier with the dropping tide.  I got a bunch of waves, but the wait between them was not short.  I made the most of each - and I got multiple double dips.  When I rode them in a bit, I didn't hit bottom, but I also wasn't riding with reckless abandon -


Unlike Roland who rides the same regardless of the conditions!!!


Charger blasting!
