April Chesterman Beach TOFINO
« on: April 17, 2018, 02:05:17 PM »
Good session. A bit wobbly on my 8’7” Creek. Great to be out in the waves! No idea who the little dog was. If you look there are cormorants on one of the islands and some geese in the sky flying south. Not much of a lineup. A bit choppy and lots of currant.

Cheers

You could have just edited your post and corrected it.  ;)

Very nice video. Tofino looks like a cool place.

Bob after you post, for some limited time period, there remains a little icon (paper with a pencil) on your post that you can click on to edit/modify.

Nice vid!

For future reference, you can also hit "MODIFY" in the top right hand corner of your post. I think it's there for an hour.

Looks like fun Bob, and SoloShot is working nicely!

Ha ha, not wobbly at all, thats a pretty small board with all that rubber, heck I’d need my 9’4!

That looked like fun. And I agree with creek...as bumpy as it looked you did great on such a small board.

I loved your video...for many reasons! First the glassy crumblers and that cool board you're on! Ridin' it beautifully too!  foAlso that dreamy music combined w/the slo-motion clips really made me drift off! Especially liked the woman goin for the late drop. She did that so well. And lastly the great performance you got from the SS3. Nice to see some stellar results. I've been drawn to Tofino in my surf travel dreams. It just seems like a cool destination, and I did hit Nova Scotia so it would be cool to see "The other side".
One could go into a mall in Kansas and ask a teenager "What is a surfer looking for?, and the answer will always be, "The perfect wave"

Thanks Creek, Stoneaxe, LB, Surfer Cook and others!

Your positive comments are much appreciated. I have learned so much watching and reading the posts on this forum. The shared stoke for all things surf related is impressive. Cook your return posts are fantastic! Great to see you are back on the water. You had mentioned you liked the music on the video. This is from the 2017 Album “Otherness” by Grayson Gilmour. He is our kiwi “nephew in-law”. The entire album is very etherial and dream like. Well worth a listen. Some of my best sessions have been ones where I am relaxed and his songs are running through my mind as I am catching waves.

Cheers
