Notes : Another year and another Kahuna Kapuna surf contest. My heat was at 830 and included 5 of the best longboarders – including MS- in norcal over 50. Gina heat was at 930. Mike also came with G- we assessed the conditions – onshore overcast and a “trying” paddle out -especially if you didn’t time it right and got caught inside. Fortunately when the horn blew it was a lull and I dry haired into the lineup. Paddled way outside and by the time I heard the two horns i saw an outside wave coming at me. I had priority on it and went for it – alas I misjudged the takeoff and it folded over way to quick- taking me with it and washing me inside. Out of position the rest of the heat. I managed two not bad lefts – but it was not enough. Six of six. Gina managed better in her heat snagging a very nice left that stayed open – winning her age division. We watched a bunch of other heats from the beach with mike and kevin and carolyn and max. took a 45 minute free surf at boat dox and then called it a day. That night a big ole bar b que at Lammys with everyone – great day.
