Dawn Patrol - 8/21/2023

I took Marlon to his surf instructor job this morning.  He had been saying that whenever he goes to work, the waves are better than where we normally go and that there is hardly any people surfing.  That had intrigued me and since I was taking him there, I brought a board.

It was no joke - the waves looked really good.

I wanted to try these new fins out - Mackie Sidecut Fish Keels

I first went out on the NVS Ono Convertibles.  These are versatile and feel good.

After three waves I went in and switched out the Onos to the Mackies.  These fins are next level!!!  Great drive and projection - and they still release on top turns!

So good!!!  I think these are going to stay in the boxes for quite some time ;)

I met Marlon's boss Anthony and a guy out in the surf, Derek.  Both foil and we had some cool discussions on equipment.

Evening Session - 10/18/2022

Marlon and I hit WPB after I got home from work this afternoon.  The forecast seemed like the waves would be on the smaller side, and the tide was going to be on the lower side - so I took the Viking.  

I also wanted to try out this True Ames Greenough Speed fin.

Fun fin, fun waves (but definitely on the smaller side) and I even got to ride a few alongside Marlon (also on his longboard).

I ended up talking with Eli and Roland about wings and foils and the upcoming forecast - what else would we be talking about???
