The waves are so butter smooth I know I can rig a small sail, my favourite 4.4 S1 and opt for my Kode 82 twin for a little bit of float out the back. There’s so much period to the swell that riding a super-fast board like the Kode looks like the only way to keep up with the speed of the wave. As I launch Timo hits a perfect lip at Mach speed and boosts an insanely high aerial and an even more amazing landing back down the face. I smile knowing I’m probably not going to get an air like that but seeing it in the flesh by your brother, well that’s just as good a feeling too. My first wave I couldn’t believe how smooth it was, butter seems the obvious comparison but most butter I know clogs your arteries, is a bit fatty and not very good for you. This butter however was oozing adrenaline; fat?, no way, it was a face loaded with muscle. Bad for you ?, yes it was, I knew I was going to stay out until I couldn’t move anymore and bore the booties off anyone for the next 10 days telling them how good it was.
