Hot and sunny, light offshore breeze, surf 2-3ft and clean. Not too busy and pleanty of wave choice.
Today a 5ft paipo, Alaia style. Mixing it up with a bit of prone and dropknee - all good fun without any worry. Plenty of jellyfish about today so duck-dives were well judged, I didnt fancy one in the face.
As a note to self I do prefer riding Alaia's with a deep roll and concave on the bottom much like my one today. Recently I've been riding the Olo type and I instantly noticed that this is far more agile than my flat bottomed or mellow boards and cut-backs are effortless.
