G-Land recieved a very nice swell bump today. Definitely the best day since my arrival a couple of weeks ago and the wind stayed pretty calm almost all day minus a two hour blast from 2:00 until 4:00. It was about as good as it can be without the offshore. Easy 10 foot faces on the sets and with more power than the other days. The forecast for tomorrow is showing the same!!!
Two sessions today and I'm pretty thoroughly spent. Started out at the Fang and ended up getting a few nice waves through Speedies. There would have been some amazing barrels with the angin darat (land wind=offshore) but it was still really enjoyable to ride some waves in the faster flowing water.
The second session in the later afternoon was at Money Trees and I'm still feeling amazed that I got to surf it alone for the last hour and half. Newcastle Neil was solo up at the Ledge and giving me an enjoyable show to watch in between the Money's sets. We both sat through the bad winds and it was absolutely worth it. The others surfers...and that's not many...didn't wait it out. But hopefully they can get some redemption tomorrow.
A beautiful day here at G-Land.
