Had another warm sunny surf session at Canoes today. Since I wrecked my Superfish the day before I had to surf on my back-up board. The board is awesome, however, it’s meant for someone the size of Emily. I’ve never really felt stable on this board which is why I bought the Superfish. On the North Shore you can get a board repaired in 24 hours, but on the South Shore it was going to take 5 days to a week to fix it. So, I went out on my back-up board.

I didn’t catch any waves all day, but I got in a lot of paddling practice. The outside break is a long paddle from the beach and I did that several times. Definitely getting stronger every day.

The big event of the day was that I bought a new board. It’s a 9.0 T & C Surf Design board designed by Tommy Tanaka. T & C is a local Hawaiian company and all their boards are built here on Oahu. I feel very lucky to have found a board I love and could afford. Looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.
