Dodging Man O’ Wars

198

i gambled this morning.  either go to Bowls and surf with 40 hungry surfers gathered in one small area?  or go to Jurassic’s and foil this huge bay with only a few guys.  guess where i chose?  there were 8 of us in the pitch dark getting our foils ready.  i couldn’t see the waves, but i could hear it.  we were so excited!

i was the third guy in the water in this huge bay.  this spot is probably one of the best foiling spots in the world.  it’s like a grown mans Disneyland!

sometimes this bay has angry jellyfish and today was that day. they were everywhere so luckily i had a wetsuit top to keep me protected.  they were stinging our hands but the waves were so good that we all stayed out.  can you see it?

this is what they look like.  the bubble is how they float, and those blue tentacles are the ones that sting you.  if you haven’t gotten stung by one of these before, you should try it.  it will make you strong!

my camera couldn’t focus so i put it away after taking one of Kaiborg on his new board.  he was flying!

*Jurassics was the best it could possibly ever get.  i sometimes forget how much i love that place!
