Day 1 of Radness



Day 1:
New Jetski, 5am, adrenalin pumping, expectations were high....... no waves.
Anything Rad is welcomed on the blog!!
Day 2: SurfRad & RadMan take a mission friday night. 2 hours after low with 8ft swell pucshing. 20 knot SE & blowing hard. Super Duper bumpy and the salt was burning our pupils out. Just one ski in sketchy detchy conditions, light fading... SurfRad want's just one wave!! His wish was granted. RadMan also pulls onto one. Big, Fat & Crumbly.
Lesson 1: Wind needs to be light or offshore, and don't go out alone on big days! Coming off the low tide had a strong swell running so timing was right.
