| - | Similar to the word from Jeff Hillburn. We got him talking at Avenue Bread yesterday after the Sat Morning run. Jeff got a couple of runs in - including the Maliko run. He talked about "stair stepping". Like a good day on Bellingham Bay with fast monster ground swell running through. | + | Similar to the word from Jeff Hillburn.

| - | One thing is visibility. There's no real horizon, it's all swell. You can't see things in normal perspective. Important to lock in the right landmarks. Your place around other paddlers is in shifting 3-D. | + | One thing is visibility. There's no real horizon, it's all swell. You can't see things in normal perspective.

| - | Surfing is waaay different. He could surf up the backs of the beasts on the chop. The swell is not obvious for rides. Jeff talked about getting little surprise rocket rides on the downsides. | + | Surfing is waaay different. He could surf up the backs of the beasts on the chop. The swell is not obvious for rides.

| - | Regards the leash thing: this is where some of the first stern leash arrangements came up. It's one thing to have big wind-loading on a sideways 'ski. I can't imagine the incredible forces on a 'ski in a breaking wave. If something doesn't give then you drown. | + | Regards the leash thing: this is where some of the first stern leash arrangements came up. It's one thing to have big wind-loading on a sideways 'ski.

| - | On whales and sharks: back when the whale was hanging around in Bellingham Bay a couple of us paddlers crossed paths with it. I've paddled around Orcas and this was totally different. I'm certain that damn feeding whale had no idea I was 10 yards from him when he surfaced. I just don't think I mattered - or maybe like Jim Bishop said later, it was not healthy and was screwed up. Regardless, I tried to get the heck out of his area. | + | On whales and sharks: back when the whale was hanging around in Bellingham Bay a couple of us paddlers crossed paths with it.
