Friday Afternoon

2013-HIOHA-11-22

Surf: 2.0 ft at 11.1 s from the NNE at 21°.

Headed north in the afternoon. The surf was pretty small on the North Shore, but we got pies at Ted’s, drove around, looked at stuff. Eventually we paddled out for a bit at Hale’iwa. I haven’t surfed the fish in ages, so it was nice to get my feet in the wax. The waves were super small so I mostly wobbled around.

Afterwards, we drove around the windward side for more scenery gawking and macadamia nuts. After a slow drive, we got malasadas and took them over to Dan’s friend’s place where he made us the most amazing gnocchi dinner. Wow. The food on this trip has been just awesome. Hawaiians know how to eat.

Friday Morning

Surf: 2.0 ft at 11.1 s from the SSW at 214°

Got a quick surf in before having to return the longboards to Surf Garage (thank you, Surf Garage!) Still nice and smooth, but with a little less punch. With the longboards, we were cruising. Lots of fun lil waves. A guy in the lineup joked about how were were getting all the waves and asked when were heading to work so the old guys could get a few. I wound up getting a super nice left while working on my stance. Yew. Starting to figure out this stuff.

These boards were pretty fun. Nice and stable for walking around, but a solid belly for quick turns. I didn’t want to give them back!
