2 hours of slogging on the way out (even slogging sounds like I was more powered up than I was) and grovelling for waves back in. Massive wind holes, eel grass, kelp, side chop, pure heaven! Waterstarting on the outside after blowing a no wind hula jibe proved rediculously hard. 5 knots is not enough wind to fly a 5.8! Caught one really fun wave backside with some fun turns. Most of the other rides were weak due to the incredibly light onshore wind. Frontside riding was nearly impossible in the straps; the board just bogged down and I'd get backwinded immediately.
Art was out making it look easy. His light air JR experience showed.
Maybe one day I'll score one of the 1 in 10 epic days there that Dave talks about.
