**G-LAND … **To those early mornings that put up a fight
to the standard “morning sickness” conditions, i’ll put up a cheers to
that one. So ultra clean this morning that it would have been amazing
to be out there and surf alone. It’s not “normal” but it does happen.
It was transport day and so i just watched it. The tide was perfect
for the swell’s size…about 8-10 foot faces on average and glassy. By
the time i was out front with the new guests, the wind started pushing
onto shore and we just needed to wait it out. 10:30 or so and the wind
started getting better, coming out of the S…not perfect…but 100% easier
to chose over a W wind. It did end of blowing offshore sometime around
2, lightly and for a couple of hours.
A little bit of everything again, sections all coming alive for short
periods of time. I’ve been looking at the photos almost each day
lately. Dave and Norris have been putting in a solid effort to capture
everything. Sometimes they’re both on the shutter at the same time…like
in the photos i loaded up yesterday. “Pipeliner from Land” by Norris
and the “Pipeliner from the Boat” shot by Dave both shot at the same
moment in time.
AND my original thought about me looking at the photos was about the
surprise i’ve been feeling from some of the photo sequences. The days
just recently past have been real fun…NOT GOOD…but real fun. There are
sequences of waves captured that stand out way beyond the others….like
the how the Launching Pad line-up palm tree does above the forest’s
canopy. Pretty far beyond. Norris shot some sequences of what looked
like Fang from the photo angle from 1st point. There are some beautiful
looking waves complete with multiple sections piping off for a
significant amount of “wow, i’m still in here!!!” I was not fortunate
enough to get any of those ones, but i’ll stay hopeful for tomorrow.
