Beatings all day from Hurricane Erin, just one ride that ended up in a 2 wave hold down, with a 1/2 breath as I surfaced before #2 mowed me down

It was a day of paddling on my 8'10 Ghost in serious side wonk and missing waves or getting slaughtered on the drop.
Mostly sitting far enough in to catch them.... then scrambling over sets

But super stoked I even got out and had some fun!

Nice Rick, looks very good. I bought a Balin extra fat leash for waves like this, it's called the hose exept its not hollow

you would loose a leg before it snaps I think .

Good on you Rick, I plan to be able to do what you are at the same age but that's 12 years from now! You only live once.

Looks like you need a Ghost upgrade for conditions like this
