Didn’t have high ex pectations today.
Started slow—just watching my Brazilian buddy Jojo from my balcony stand-up paddle and ride some across the entire bay.
I thought about going prone, but I’ve heard it’s no joke out here… takes serious work.
Then the wind came up. Solid.
Powered up on the 3.5
As soon as I hit the water, I realized—I had it all to myself again.
Wind was steady. Waves were way better than I expected.
Right away I started getting into them off of the point, Nice long rides, gliding off the back,grabbing the wing, doing it all over again.
Rinse. Repeat. For what felt like forever.
Stayed near the surfers rock—playing it safe. No one knew I was out there. Completely solo.
Eventually started pushing further… and scored some bombs way outside.
Hooked into so many waves I lost count.
I was cooked… but they just kept coming.
And I just kept going.
Finally decided to head in—smart call. Two other wingers showed up, and instantly it felt safer, So I kept going.
Then it got real.
Dropped off foil on a lull… couldn’t get back up.
Wind backed off. I’m far out. Alone again.
Heart started pounding.
Tried to stay calm… waited for a gust.
Took forever.
Finally got up—relief…
Then immediately hit floating garbage and went down again.
“F***!!!”
What felt like an eternity later, I got up again and beelined it home.
Closer now. Safer.
…Then I saw a set.
Hooked into one more.
there’s always one more at Chicama, And then I gave up the pure exhaustion. The Apple Watch settings have been changed so we got proper KM’s
