K and I were in the water for from 6:50am for an hour + this morning. Late start. I was prone on SouthPointe 9'1" Bonga Perkins/Schaper. She is SUP paddling a NSP 11' Longboard. We are trying to hookup with my neighbor coming down from Hookipa. Wind was light at first, I would say 5-8 knots. We had some trouble making headway. Seas were small, but not as flat as Thurs/Fri. Any lull we could make distance upwind. After about 30 minutes, wind built and see state was starting wind blown chop. Start of some whitecaps. Two surprises: white caps below 15 and how hard it is to paddle up wind. Impossible. New lesson. I'll post a few technique questions.
