Wednesday - Still windy, the bigger swell still around, you could sail way out and catch a set all the way back in. I think I was on 4.7m to start, but spent most of the day on 5.0m and Evo 80 and/or Evil Twin 70. Also had a spell on the 99 RRD Twin. Sailed 5-6 hours non stop, with gloves because my hands were destroyed. MAny many good rides down the long side of the reef. Skyeboy had the head cam so stoked to share a few waves with him filming and then to stick a smooth table top out the back as the sun went down. Towards the end was sailing quite a bit downwind of the main peak, but catching the wide swells that seemed to light up the offshore beach a bit better. On the EVo80, saw a rogue swell a bit wider off the headland so swooped along the swell line to the peak and this thing walled up the full length of the Moulay point. Waist high and steep but always with the door open for the next section. Kicked out smoothly in the next bay in front of the big house. The longest wave of the day and of the week. Turned out to be the final wave of the final day. Unbelievable. Sailed straight back out to try and claw back upwind, fully planing a long way out and then the wind just switched off. Luckily I had enough distance by then and plenty of volume so just slowly sailed a mile back in to the upwind side of the reef enjoying the sunset and the last looks att he place from the sea. Perfect final wave. Great day.
