EMPTINESS
Suddenly Cloudbreak was empty. The wind was just starting to come in. It was simply unrideable on a surfboard and the tow-in guys were nowhere to be seen. JP and Scotty rigged up and headed out. Philip Koester and I stayed on the boat because it was just a little light. I realized Koester is 90 kg. and 6’ 2”. He is a big-fella. I too am of larger build, so we played it cool and agreed that it was too light to sail yet. Truth be told I was freaking out by how big it was. About 10 minutes later the wind picked up to 15 knots so Koester rigged and off he went. I watched him sail off towards the wave. He looked excited, but I suddenly felt quite alone.
