Entry 313 - Memorial Day Surf

Yay! Made it out on Memorial Day and it was even more crowded than yesterday. Crazy people in the lineup not paying attention to who was going where. Almost got hit by a board once by someone who ditched going for a wave. New perspective on the GoPro - trying out the mouthguard mount. Gotta get used to it before Maui!

Water is definitely warming up. Almost time for the trunks!

Entry 312 - Day Before Memorial Day

Got out today around 11 AM to go for a Sunday surf session. There weren't a lot of people out today, surprisingly. But those that were out there obviously don't go out much. It was a little crazy in the lineup. Caught a half dozen and called it a session.

Entry 308 - New Board

Not much to talk about on this one EXCEPT I think this was the first session on my new Redline II! Pretty small but probably fun. I do remember the feeling of the new board as I trying walking to the nose - very stable and stiff. I likey! With SurfExplorer down once again, I haven't been able to record much.
