There’s no real secret, especially if you read yesterdays report. It was basically the reef versus the beach break. And we all know the reef won hands down. Look here as Derek is paddling out all by himself “AGAIN”, with a very nice looking wave almost greeting him out to the lineup for round two!
Colorado’s from an eagles eye view. This guy may have gotten the best wave of the session.
This guy would have to be runner up for the beachie.
But again, I have to show just how much more the reef was in terms of cleanliness and way better groomed conditions.
D – taking off on an outside nug.
The size was maybe a foot smaller today, but make no mistake, this place always looks smaller, that is until you paddle out and see for yourself.
Still some good size lumps and bumps coming though at the outer reef indicator.
It’s always fun to see what those “lumps” that swing on in end up looking like once they hit the shallowest part of the bottom. This one’s certainly a lot bigger than it looks from here. Keep in mind I am easily at least a mile away.
Believe me, I am only making it look way better than it really was. This is one of “those ones” that looked super good and makable.
Looking back up the other way just in time to see Derek paddling hard to get into this super deep right.
The board he had out there today had a lot of foam and what the new kids are all hyped about…. “Volume” (haha inside joke for all my hardcore shaper buddies). But either way you look at it, D’s dims or “volume” certainly helped him get around that big whitewater section that is usually a dream crusher for continuing on with one of those long rights.
Follow that up with this nice big roundhouse cutback and it’s good enough to say it was a decent and actually fun session once again being out at the reef all by himself. Getting any wave that came through.
Hahaha – not even joking, he actually really rode the entire wave all the way in from about as far out as you can or would want to sit on the bigger days like today and touched down on dry sand. Now that’s what you call “surfing” and not a bad way at all to end your session. Way to go D!!!!
So if tomorrow is a three peat, well, at least you will get a whole different viewpoint, as I am off and Mr. Baldo will be giving you his artistic view with what tomorrow (hopefully offers up much better conditions, especially at PC’s tomorrow). Have a great evening everyone and thanks for stopping by….. be sure to come on back again tomorrow ~
