6/20-6/21/09 Corolla

Well as strange as it sounds, Corolla delivers for the second week in a row. We had waist to chest waves with a light offshore breeze, some flies. The waves were perfect. Surfed with Bracken, Pat, Kevin, Patrick (Earl's grandson.) while Lauren and Amy hung out on the beach with Hooper, Brody, and Indy.
The next day it blew NNE 25-30. Smallest gear I had was the 101 FSW and 6.2 Icon. It worked though. Awesome, awesome session, right at the end of Bismark, used the golf cart to get the gear to and from the beach. Nice airtime, nice swell riding, with the occasional wave to get a turn on.

6/13/09 Corolla

Knee to waist at the end of Bismark. 2 sessions, late morning, late afternoon. Tons-o-dolphins. Very nice, water was beautiful. Boston Terrier central, with 6 dogs at one point. Golf cart is back in the rotation but seems like it may fold in half, literally. Dropped off O'Neill Guru 3/2 with Dave at IR. Maybe he can do something with it, if not, I will have to send it back to O'Neill. Maybe head back down next week.

6/5/09 Avon

Rented Tabou Pocket Wave 85 and sailed it on the sound w/ a 5.3 for a couple hours. Turns great, jumps nice and extremely comfortable. Slow. Too slow, and is a little hard to get upwind. Wind then went 4.0 and we sailed the reef for another couple hours. Me, Billy, Contos, Rowland. Reef was very rough and was not setting up very well. Still, lots of BIG air. Fun day, returning to a semi flooded Norfolk.
