Round Pin vs. Swallow

The waves were beautiful, the water was clean, and the session was amazing.  Noda-san duck diving a big one.

So happy to surf with Noda-san.  Nice bottom turn while getting ready for the next turn.

Good waves and good vibes.  We went home happy surfers!

I’m having a hard time planning my next surf trip because surfing right here in Hawaii is like a surf trip.  There have been waves everyday and everywhere.  And the good thing about it is my own bed is just minutes away.

I tested out 2 boards this morning.  The ROUND PIN tail carves into the turns.  You have to push a little harder through turns.

The SWALLOW tail has better release so it turns a lot easier.  Both boards work good depending on how hard you want to push yourself.  Today’s waves were a little soft so the SWALLOW tail worked better.  Look closely and you can see the purple board on the rail where as the yellow is a little flatter through the turn.

I found this album in a box in my Mom’s closet.  Does anybody know who this is?  This has to be over 50 years old?

Monday Set

Monday morning set of the day! Shoulder high and perfect empty wave. Nature wins.
