Paddling out. First light. John's right in the water.
Pipe may or may not be pumping.
It's over to Eric on the cam. We will see what we find out there.
Donning it. See you guys after the session.
I was sick of it. What the heck? I would have gone. I thought you were going.
Yeah, somehow I was going for that.
Must have been on the duck dive.
That my boy. I'm doing the exact same thing I tell everyone to not do.
Paddle out on the back door. Try to make it. Set cam. Apex on me.
I bail. Already. Mistake one. Mistake two. I jump feet first. Showdown.
Hey, and then I find this epic rock. It signifies what happened.
What? Yeah, he's the first guy out. Hey, look what I found.
Hey.
Sad to lose that board. It was such a blade. Slunk. Slunk. This is the advantage of FCS.
No looking for a fin key. No scrounging around. Just boop boop.
I'm actually going to go. My helix leash.
Whoa, leash string. When are we going to get rid of leash strings?
Entire thing nice and short. Helps with when your board's tomb starting away from you.
Most annoying thing that happens. That soar you see on my hand. Not a soar, but it's a blister
from getting sunspots burned off. Grab some wax. Flu wax, of course. Wow, the sound was so cool.
Shortcut. What I would call cruising speed.
That is I'm cutting over
pipe. Stuck down speed for
maybe five hours or so before I was completely blown out.
Whoa, screamer. Let's look at this wave. Burn, a double barrel. What? Oh my. No abation, I think.
That was crazy.
MEO, no abation. Got a sick double barrel. I can't believe I caught that.
It's firing. Just got in three and a half hours. Me and John, first guys out, donned it.
Scored the sickest window. Now the whole crowd's out. It's still pumping. Look at this wave.
Probably Jamie. Who is this? Oh my gosh, Mikey. What? Oh, that was insane.
Wow, look at this thing. Who's this? Eli. Oh, watch out, Eli. Going high and tight. Sick.
Wow, it's so sick out there. The swell run has begun in a big way.
It's going to be like this for the next 10 days. We're going to go eat while the main crowd's out
there. Mason and Jamie and Zeke and Eli and everyone's out right now. A bunch of good surfers
in a tight pack, so it makes it a lot harder to get waves. We're going to go eat and have a coffee
and then right when they all get tired, around the midday maybe, we're going to go back out.
Timing. Timing the windows. Also, rest in peace to the 6'4 tank. You were a great board.
Sad to see you go. Shout out to those board charts. Things are holding through some crazy
sessions. Now riding the 6'6". Feels pretty good. Feels a little longer. Doesn't have that 6'4
length epicness, but okay, that's that. We're going to get some food. Whoa, carnage. Carniferous.
John ran my vans over. Ran my damn slippers over. Good thing these are tough. Love these.
I think these are the Nexfa model of slips. So good for tropical Hawaii.
Heading back out. Pumping. Riding my 6'6". Again. John on his 6'4".
In his arrow shield suit paired with the rash guard. He's got short john version,
rash guard hooded for ultimate sun protection, and the ultimate lack of resistance on the paddle.
You pretty much got the float of a float suit with the agility of a rash guard. Imagine that.
Look at that ruddy nugget. What? KR again. Yeah. Subscribe if you guys haven't.
We're going to 500 and then to a million. Whoa, off the wall. What a letdown.
That was actually ******* crazy.
Oh, how good is EMU's wave?
Quick session, only an hour and a half. Had one good attempt on one before the wind went on,
so crazy traveler. Would have been epic. Almost hit a water camera. I was poking up out of there.
So I got a good vision, but a quick session. So
Swirlbender continues. Wind's on shore. Fuel up. Get ready.
