Waves were running parallel with the shore so I did not have to venture too far out into the bay. My Mako Elite was rock solid in the waves..gliding effortlessly. There were no boats around (fishing/crabbing) season off ???. Some waves where big enough you could feel it in the stomach and starring down,,,just awesome runner after runner. | + | Put on Farmer John wetsuit, leashed up and head out 6km upwind.
