| - | I've only hit those big run swell once like that. It's different than gorge or really anything you'll see inside. You did a neat trick avoiding getting set into the hook. If that happens probably easier to just crash land through the surf line and carry boat across. Also, I've done that upwind inside the hook and amazing how hard and long that gets. Especially if you were ridin OC. | + | I've only hit those big run swell once like that. It's different than gorge or really anything you'll see inside.

| - | Yeah crash land is the right description! Three weeks ago we did the run and landed on the North side to avoid the bash upwind. Figured since mid tide might be some beach showing before getting thrown up against boulder jetty. Well the" beach" was softball sized smooth rocks. I hoped out,got rolled slipping on the stones and barely saved my boat. You need curbside valet service in any decent wind. | + | Yeah crash land is the right description!

| - | I was in my trusty Huki S1R on this last run. Mike in his S. I made a bad rudder selection .Thinking it wouldn't be so technical nor as much wind (forecast 15), I used 9" Huki weed rudder. My zigs and zags were pretty sloppy while Mike was shredding it rail to rail with his 9" Kiesling. I tried out my new 9.5" Kiesling surf rudder aka "The Beast" last Friday at the Gorge and boy o boy was it fun in swell city. Could turn any way I wanted and feel solid. Course you need mid 20's+ to get most benefit. | + | I was in my trusty Huki S1R on this last run. Mike in his S.

| - | I sure wish they brought back that DeFuca Downwind race again! I think the first year we did it we had to finish inside the hook, but the next year we finished on the beach facing the Strait. There was a bit of a shorebreak but it wasn't too bad to negotiate. | + | I sure wish they brought back that DeFuca Downwind race again!
