and the waves were pushing 2x OH (but not scary at all) and perfectly walled up....
Almost surreal.

you forgot to mention how warm the water is. I literally just froze my butt off walking from my driveway to my front door. The sesh sounds great but please remind us of the warmth.

[ez_ed]

Yup. Warm water to boot. Haha.


Did you SUP or surf today, BB?
You're coming to Maui this winter still?
If so, you'll dig the kiting/SUPing/surfing scene.
Pretty good skateparks as well.

My Bro-in-Law just got back from Maui, he's in a lot of cold pain right now.


Still too dark pre and post work but it's getting lighter as I drive home. I'm still jazzed off of my x-mass kook sesh and I realized I was sore two days later. You really do work hard SUP'ing.


I've been reading/YouTube'ing as much as I can about SUP'ing. I'm kind of proud I could paddle jetty to jetty on a choppy day. Fingers crossed, Maui in March! STOKED

we should hook you up with my cousin out here.  he's totally into the SUP - he's got like 4 of 'em now.

If you find yourself on Oahu and you want to have an SUP(or regular surf) session, you should look me up. You can borrow one of mine. I even have an extra paddle.


Stay warm.

You know, I've had dreams like that....
Sigh.
Remembering them right now....

It's all about near perfect swell direction. It gives you a nice "runway" that drops and drops(you don't bottom turn for a good 3 or 4 seconds) before making a bottom turn and then you carve the wall a bit for a few hundred feet. Every so often you look over your shoulder and say"hmmm, this wave is pretty good size".
