G-LAND was once more...REAL GOOD FUN! The crowd in the water seemed a bit less frenzied compared to yesterday, but still plenty of bad scenarios that went on. Seems that it needs to be either real big or swell for 4 days straight to get people to change their approach. But then there's new guests coming in everyday to one of the camp's, so I guess it just needs to be real big.
8-10 foot faces at Moneys with those random larger sets coming through at double-overhead, but you needed to patient for those. Nice, easy barrels today since the swell's intensity backed off. Not much of a consequence compared to what's possible. Fan Palms up through Kongs was real playful...big, carvable faces with surprise barrel sections like it does up there. The wind was great today and already blowing early on...like from 7 AM. And another day of real intense sun.
Went down to Tigertracks for a quick surf and got some very clean, shoulder high sets with 4 other guests, Blacky and Samson. REAL GOOD FUN! The rights were wrapping real tight, not going hollow, but keeping a steep, bowly transition. The lefts were fast and lining up for about 50 meters on a long one. I almost stayed through sunset, but I could see the swell running the reef at Plengkung so I headed back up fast to catch a few before dusk...well worth the effort since it was a beautiful sunset session.
Another classic day of good fun at G-LAND.
