Day 22 of the 2014 season: Windsurf - An unexpected delight

An unexpected delight.

Had an ear out for possibly wind today but the rain was heavy all morning and it didn't look appealing. Around 1 pm the heavy rain stop and my ears perked up - the wind was alive.
Headed to Metro Beach and was pleasantly surprised with white caps and steady strong winds.
Definitely a windsurf day, decided to rig the 5.0 with the 101 RRD FSW, (didn't have my 85 liter board). The next hour and a half was mostly powered up more so on the outside. Riding the large spaced out Huron style swell. A great session with the deeper spring time water levels higher then normal - making the waves/swell mucho fun.

Highlight of the day:  Well spaced SWELLS!
TOW:    1.5 2:30 - 4:00
Gear:  5.0 Ezzy Freewave and 101 RRD FSEW
Conditions:   Some mean chop and some of the best swells I've ever seen on LSC
Weather:   Lower 60s and cloudy
Wind:    S clocking to W up to 30 mph
Schooled: Swell riding
