Captain Liz CHARGES!! It was cool to see her really get after it with the guys, absolutely fearless. This day was playful and the bottom was mellower than some of the other spots we surfed so everyone was really going for it, especially Liz. She would never claim anything, she lets her actions do the talking, which is why she is who she is I guess. She was definitely a good person to have on board; she even gave Gerry a run for his money in Scrabble!
We had a good run of swell and were able to test out some bigger boards that Fletch has been working on. Mostly quad setups. Here's Fletch on a fun one, getting to feel out how this board goes. Since this swell he's built about 6 more and sent them to Hawaii and Mav's to get more feedback.
After 18 days of being on a boat trip with 4 goofy footers you start to think that you're the goofy one for being regular footed....until you find a right and then everything starts to make sense again. Devon was on this wave quicker than anyone and snagged a few good ones right off the bat.
Keith was really getting after it this session. It was on day two or three so everyone was fully rested and ready to go. That shirt Keith is wearing is a new fabric that we're thinking of using for sun shirts, he was stoked on it. There's video of this that will probably come out in the next electronic surf catalog this spring.
Wayne Lynch destroying the lip in Indo. Both Wayne and Gerry went totally mental during this session. It wasn't the best day we had in terms of waves but they went out and threw some water around.
Tim took this shot in Indo, it was on our last day and everyone was out. Me, Gerry, Wayne, Chris, Keith, Fletch, Liz - even Tim got a few. We split up between here and a little right, across the bay.
This one was one of the singers that would come through every 20 minutes or so. The inside had some really fast sections that you need to highline, perfect wave for Quarking.
DanO testing out the PEKE in Indo, Keith got some sick ones on this board too. A couple buddies that have been riding this board have been going off about how well it works and we're stoked. It's another board that rippers can go ballistic on.
FCD surfer/glasser/sander, Eric Streufert leans into this bottom turn and captures the moment on his GoPro camera.
