Upwind and Downwind

[Takeo]

Here in Hilo, Hawaii, we don't have the greatest downwind conditions.  When the wind blows, ocean swells get big and disorganized.  Sometimes, I paddle into the wind just for a chance at catching some light downwind.  The winds were fairly light today, but outside the wall was choppy and I decided to rig up the GoPro, mounted on the tail of an SIC Bullet, and take it for an afternoon session.  I really do love paddling into the wind!

Nice clip. I have the GoPro too. Awesome camera. You're having "A" ball? Well, I hope you had 3 at that point

Nice. Looks like you lovin that Bullet.

Nice save on the beach ball! You're a good man!

Good pull on the music too, Sandman is in my workout playlist, 120 bpm!

Foilman, yup, that would be correct  !

SUP NINJA, I love this board, even in less than ideal conditions!

AP, it's the second beach ball I've saved.  We were all a kid once and had something lost, whether it was the wind or a thief.  The kids were cheering and kept saying "thank you" while mom took my picture, it was a great way to start my session.  BTW, Metallica always gets me pumped!

When you put the ball between your feet I thought you were gonna start some Danny Ching workout!

Haha!  Maybe if I had my front camera setup! Had 2 cameras on today's run, but I didn't find any beach balls..I'll post a video tonight.  Takes about 6 hours to convert, edit, save, and upload 10 minutes so thanks for appreciating it, even if it was the beach ball that caught your attention

Aw, everyone else is gushing about your mad skills, don't want to over do it! 

Solid strokes BTW!

No question, Bullets rock. You need to come over for some Malikos next winter.

AP, thanks for the props..I cut out all the bad parts j/k    I try to paddle 5 days a week and sometimes do double sessions on the weekend, it's all about the STOKE!

PonoB, I was just thinking that after watching Bill B's videos!  So jealous!  I don't want to sound like a cry baby, but geesh, 90% of my session is paddling...GIVE ME SOME GLIDE!! Haha!  Bullets do rock though! I'll post a second video, more sloppy waters, but it's what I got, and I still love it!
