Home Sweet Home
Back from Turtle Bay. We were there for the weekend on an all-expenses paid vacation we received as a gift. Sorry, didn't tell you what was going on...I kinda disappeared, yes? Spent Friday, Saturday, and this morning on the North Shore. Surfed Pupukea Fri/Sat and Turtle Bay today. It sucked.
First, it was windy the entire time. Friday had some size and wasn't lining up. Difficult to punch through the inside and make it back out. Pretty empty, five other guys. Stayed out only about 45 minutes.
Saturday was much better. Slightly smaller, better conditions and form, but it was very crowded. Too many people and not nearly enough waves.
This morning, we had to check out by 11:00, so after breakfast in the room and some relaxation, I decided to go out right off the point. No one was out. It was junk. Bigger than yesterday but breaking all over the place. Caught two waves and went in.
I had a nice time despite my poor sessions. It was an opportunity to kick back and do nothing. It would've been awesome, of course, to have scored some good waves. Oh well, what can you do?
I'm glad to be back home, though. And now I'm hearing Town has some waves?
