Title: Soloshot- Groveling at Frisco, Outer Banks 8/10/19
Post by: jarvissup on August 10, 2019, 04:32:46 PM: What a difference a day makes. Yesterday we had head high clean waves on the east facing beaches. Today a north wind lumped up our swell and sent us down to Frisco. We call it the "Frisco Disco" as you drive up and down the beach looking for a descent wave... it always looks better up the beach.

Rider: 6' 185lbs
Board: 8' x 28 3/4 105 liter Flight Malolo
Fins: Riptide Speed

Thanks for sharing the video.

Unfortunately, we were't surfing at a "drive on" beach during the good swell, so we didn't carry the Soloshot on the long walk out and over the dunes.

That wave is weaker than it looks, and "juiceless" but can be fun. That 8' board I'm riding has a very flat rocker line, and the Riptide fins help speed it up even more. We've had onshore winds the last couple of days down here, so I've been working around the house and shop.

Post by: eastbound on August 12, 2019, 08:41:59 AM: nice waves by me in western RI Fri, with leftovers Sat--nothing incredible, tho given recent dearth of waves, it was overdue, and redeeming fun

did a sprint marathon cold (zero training) sunday morning---a great workout but humbling--i rocked the bike bc i commute almost 2 hrs per day on a 65 lb share bike---swimming?? shoulders no happy, but ok---running?? limping today with hip pain which pisses me off

chix dig the numbers on my arm and calf----til they see the times!!!! haha

woops i digress---nice to see a couple days of waves in the northeast---cmon storm season
