Rainy and dead on the south cost - after several consultations with mission control decided to rally and give Pistol River a shot
Pretty light with head and a half waves - grabbed the 11m and skim and figured i'd mess around on the flat water in the river and took the surfboard on the off chance things turned on
no one else around - laying out my lines and Mike Solback appears over the sand dunes (Josh and Sky's dad) he only has a 7m so he is hanging out - but a good omen
wind turns on - grab the srt and head out
bit intimidating solo but fun until the wind starts to crank - hold it together for awhile but end up getting launched off the wave tops
head in grab the 7m and its perfect for a while the sun is setting - catch a nice overhead wave on the outside get about halfway in and the wind shuts down and i'm steamrolled
got to practice no wind downed kite rescue technique - unhook - disconnect kite leash hold on till kite gets pummeled then let it go - collect pieces on beach
shout out to Blowhard, Regi and the Florence crew
