Very similar to yesterday. Rigged the 5.5 again and was just a bit underpowered at the start. Around lunchtime it started to ramp up and I headed into Hood River for lunch instead of rerigging. Coming back, the wind was still up but it was puffy which allowed me to cheat with a hauled in 5.5. Had some really good times out on the swell. Tried one last session at the end of the day, but the stronger wind had gotten a bit steadier and I wasn't able to pull the 5.5 off as well. A fun day.
