swam pipe for a few hrs today - tiring!

broken board blues

one wave, that is it, one stinking wave!
not even that big, solid for sure, but not that big...
first board i broke in years... must have been bad foam or glass...
surfed rockies, about 5ft or so sets (4 or 5ft overhead on set)...

told the shaper via email, will see what happens...

new board stoke (and wonder if a tail patch is needed)... 7-4, 6-4, 6-2, 5-6

new board done! picking up tomorrow!

here is the shaper - if this board gets me even close to this ill be stoked! (pic 12)

was gonna shoot in the h2o at the pipe trials, but chose not to - this seq. shows why... or yellow spit into soup..

shot from the beach with the 135 - kinda lineup shots...

bubble focus.. pipe unfocused... i sort of like...

trees... think i need to shoot this at a different time of day...
