\nyesterday was the kind of day you stay in bed watching a movie. it was raining, dark, cold, windy, and the waves weren’t so good. well, that’s what i thought. we drove to the north shore anyway knowing the wind was bad and the conditions were ugly.

\nfirst stop was haliewa. i saw 2-4′ waves and looked so so. we grabbed our boards and paddled out anyway because there were only a few surfers in the water. then it just started getting bigger and bigger, and better and better. some solid 5-6′ sets with lots of power. i figured out that the first wave in the set was junk, and the second one was smooth because the first one made the ocean calm. i let the first ones go and went only for the second ones. the waves were good! i was even lucky to get a barrel. rode my matchi shape tssc 6’3 and had an awesome 2 hour session. it was one of those days you tell yourself “i’m glad i went out there!” pure satisfaction on the drive home.
