Fewer than 1 in 1,000 surfers will ever ride a minute long wave. Probably fewer than 1 / 10,000 will ride a minute long wave and cover more than 500 yards.
This weekend EVERY WAVE WAS THIS GOOD. It was FANTASTIC on the foil. 10 / 10.
8 Waves ridden covering 2.5 miles in 10.0 cumulative minutes. Average 550 yards, longest 675 yards. Average Speed 15.0 mph.
I eventually pulled out the Camera. Hero8 stabilized. Need to do something about the lens but WOW!
Beasho and Jeff Clark. Catching 8 to 10 footers on the outside then flying free.

Buoys were 10 feet @ 16 seconds. I was worried it was NOT going to be big enough to wrap into the bay but it was. Typically it needs to be a solid 15 to 20 foot day to make this place work.
I was riding my 7' 4" converted L41 with Tuttle Box and Go Foil GL 210.

OOOOHHHHH Man, you're killing me. I love that break and haven't been able to get there for a few months. I'm so jealous. I was down south last weekend and caught the swell. Super fun walls at San O. I tried to surf PB Point and got my ass kicked by the relentless barrage of 6-9 foot waves. I managed to catch a few big ones but then would get caught inside and have to battle my way back out. After an hour I was cooked. Thanks for sharing and reminding me I need to get back up there.

How long did it take to paddle back out each time??

What a ride! Nicely done! I can only hope the rivers open up soon to get rides long enough to cause severe lactic acid build-up.

' Good for you... The first-mover advantage, eh? "Fewer than 1 in 1,000 surfers will ever ride a minute long wave." That is likely to change soon; unless, you were invisible to the 100 guys on the inside and 500 onshore doing a 'surf check'. You could even expect people on the highway thinking; "I could want to do that!" Some young enterpriser with a ski and sled will end up selling Lift Tickets to solve Tarquins question.

Haha, one of my buddies texted me on Saturday morning from the cliffs overlooking that break - "I just saw a guy on a foil grab a wave at middles and ride it all the way to the beach!"
You better believe people are taking notice. Luckily there is still a ton of room on the shoulder...

Sweeet flying Beasho!
Bet it got the line-up attention, as you two swooped down on them, doing go-behinds ;D

Getting my foiling skills going for the locales in Florida where I will be able to get those long rides.
