Spank My Wookie

I'm still working on fishing the fishy. I'm getting more comfortable on it and the speed that thing generates is way fun! I'm even thinking about going a bit smaller later on next year; perhaps something like a 5'10" twin keel?! That would be wicked cool! Anyhoo, I grabbed a handful of session starting on Wednesday, the day before Gobble Gobble day. I remember getting a bunch of rides that day and started going backside. But I look pretty dorky doing that and don't really know what to do on the wave.

Friday, I met up with some surf buddies and surfed the local break again. I got some nice right handers before the tide and the wind killed it.

Saturday was brutal. The swell was fading, but the wind was picking up. I paddled out to head high sets and it was a bitch to get out. I still can't duck dive the 4 fin as it is really thick. The water was extremely cold and the wind was putting a damper on things. The waves I went for were true wind swell waves. I managed to pearl the nose of my fish. I don't think thats an easy feat. Anyways...I pretty much kooked it out. I looked kooky paddling out, especially getting hammered by the sets coming through. I looked kooky taking off and crouching on mushy closeouts. It doesn't get any better than this!
