Missed the best wind of the day and had to settle for less with a gusty north cant. At least I didn't get there 20 minutes earlier and rig the 4.0. Having said that, had probably my longest luffed swell ride yet. Still, the day was marred by all the holes. And then I almost got run over while down in the water. I don't think the guy ever saw me, as I had to move my board out from underneath at the last second which would have completely pitched him. Then he motored off towards swell city never to be seen again.
