Well, another session to build off of at the local. A little more size today than I’ve been in since being back. Nothing crazy, but just some healthy ones. I stuck to the inside and got a couple really fun lefts on my log. It’s a 9’8” Jim Phillips Bastard if anyone cares. So much glide and turns are butter. A truly refined traditional noserider that has a stable front end with just enough lift. The rocker, rail, foil combo really locks in when you’re on the front end of the board. It turns really well and is just a total stoke machine. I run a 9.5” Greenough 4A in it.
Had more confidence so I worked on fading at the take off and pushing harder off the bottom into some baby cross steps. Fuck, I sound like a fucking longboarder. But it was fun and the Achilles is holding up. Picked up a 6’6” Mabile Honey Badger yesterday and hope to transition onto that after a few more log days.
Another fluffy sighting today, not by me. A friend saw a 6-7’er about 30 yards outside of the line up not long after we paddled out. They’re out there....
Oh, and, thanks to the effen general discussion forum, I had Eddie Murphys “My Girl Wants to Party All the Time” stuck in my head the whole time.
