Out on my old self-shaped 9' Green Machine. It's a little waterlogged but still turns great. Enjoy 8)

That was a fun day for sure, and you were definitely having a blast in the video. But we gotta get you on a foil, cuz where you're running out of wave...on the foil we're just approaching the half way mark, on our almost 400' rides, and at 16+ mph too boot.
Lemme know if/when you wanna give it a try, I think I've got enough spare equipment for you to take for a spin if you like. :)

@ TallDude
What fin setup were you using. Three fin?
-
Lotta rides in some quality June gloom. I woulda liked to have seen a shot of your hand shaped green machine.
-
That's cool. When I started shooting POV is when I discovered that I talk to myself when surfing, too...LOL
-
Ha ha, thanks, that was fun....love the commentary and the rock dance :)
Looked like a nice session on TDgreen and not much crowd.... sweeet!

Thanks for the video. A stoker to go surfing.

Fun place, little sharky but fun..

I know.... You guys are like crack dealers with your foils. I'm surrounded by foilers. One of these days I'll give it a go.

I've run it as a thruster before, but like it better as a quad. The forward fins are Futures F8 (Flat Foil) and the rears are O'Fish'L (80/20 Foil). I had a whole set of O'Fish'L quads, but busted one of the forward boxes out on a reef. They don't make O'Fish'L boxes anymore, so I put Futures boxes in. Thus the mixed brands.

You're right. As soon as the GoPro is on, I start talking to myself? Maybe it's effecting my brain???? Na....

When it's low tide the waves better be good, because it can be a brutal 100 yard walk if you're not wearing reef shoes. Usually the tide will be up either going in or coming out. So it's only painful one way ;D

I owed you that one after I put you to sleep with my narrated distance paddle ::)

You mean my buddy. I never feel lonely surfing at Nuc's. I wasn't alone on this session either.

Fun stuff...:)

In New England we use a different spelling. We call those power plants "Nuke's".
"No Nuke's" was a very common bumper sticker in the 70's. If you were employed there, you worked at "The Nuke".

I remember the stickers. We actually have / had sirens on poles around our neighborhood that are part of San Onofre's 'Kiss your ass goodbye' program. They tested them yearly. Basically like air raid sirens. I grew up with them. We also have Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base training all the time with heavy artillery right next to San Clemente. I know the sound of a 50 cal. and 105 mm Howtizer well. I think they are switching to 155 mm soon. They rattle our windows and shake are house like an earthquake. It's a daily reminder that freedom isn't free, and we support them 100%!
For those well educated people who understand what Nuklear power is. I told someone they were replacing the steam generators at San Onofre and they laughed. They said "they use Nukulir power there not steam!" ::)

millstone nuclear shithole (they had to close the place for years, after ruining the career of a whistle-blower---bc they were handling spent rods in the same moronic way as fukishima, along with other scary approaches to cost-saving) is 2 miles crow flight from a house i own--it's NE of me, and prevailing winds are SW, but i would have preferred it stayed closed---i believe in nuclear power, but have doubts that corporate entities can be controlled by regulators such that the corps dont poison us in pursuit of $$$$$
think im just launching with my usual bleeding heart crap?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millstone_Nuclear_Power_Plant
the continual cavalier approach to so much at milestone, and the neutered state of NRC, has been scary and appalling
it's too bad, because well-engineered, meticulously operated nuclear power could really help with our global carbon problems--but, poorly-regulated, it's just another potentially more deadly poison to pick
pick your poison!

We have those siren poles here too. I live 11 miles from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in NH and there is a pole within one mile of my house. Not only does it have a siren, but they can talk over it as well. I can hear it at my house loud and clear when they test it.

All we have left are the spent fuel rods. What to do with them???? Maybe Elon Musk can figure out how to jettison them in our space trash can.
