SURF:<\/strong> 2-4ft, very mellow, very clean. Long period small south-southwest swell.
\nGear: 10’6<\/p>\n

A perfect longboard day spent on a shortboard is just cruel. A day like today is when longboards can really shine. They can catch even the smallest waves and float down the line like it’s nothing. <\/p>\n

With the Stewart still off being repaired I was prepared to suffer in the 7’4. Thankfully Chris was up for a good longboard Saturday and lent me his 10’6. It’s a huge singlefin board that turns surprisingly well and had just the right amount of float to pick of anything coming by. It was great. <\/p>\n

I love sitting in the lineup, spotting a hint of a wave no one else would give a second thought to, charging for it and getting a beautiful little line out of a wave that was barely even there. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n

My friend Aaron (who has the most amazingly patched up Michel Junod<\/a> longboard) came out with us after 3 months on land with a skiing injury. He got a few nice ones. <\/p>\n

Chris and Luke both picked off their fair share and beautiful ones on both their longboards and the Alia. Great sunny day for everybody. <\/p>\n

Taking the 10’6 home was a bit of a feat. 3 flights of winding stairs with that baby was hard work. At least I have 12ft ceilings. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
