Think I need a new wind meter, it said ave 22, but I was over powered on a 5.2. After the first run I strung it tight as a banjo and could hold it down. Absolutely great day and it deserved a 10, but I took off a point for a couple of crashes that made me swallow my copenhagen and put a mast ding in my new board. Great jumpable swells both ways (better on port). Think I almost did a trick when my back foot came out about 5 ft in the air.
