Woke up super early, made breakfast, and drove to Port to get my chipped tooth fixed. Then I came back and saw that it was 7.9ft on 12 seconds with SE winds... so I went for a surf with the Britannia. ULTE2 named it "The Britannia" on the weekend in June when K was out here... I was catching so many waves with the 11' NSP that he felt it "ruled the waves"... the name didn't really stick... but after today... I think I'm going to give it another try.
The Britannia doesn't carve half as well as the Bluepath... but it is super easy to catch waves on... and as long as one is happy riding straight down the line, it's a super awesome board. It's very floaty... so you have to be way up to paddle it... and way back to turn it.... waaaay back. This afternoon, I had forgotten my contacts and arrived at the parking lot with glasses on... I decided to go out blind, because I really didn't have the time or patience to go back home and go back to the beach.
The light was flat and I couldn't see anything... but my god... what a series of awesome rides!
Had an excellent surprise visit from Margo today... I love that her work will bring her here regularly. This might be a bit ambitious... but I hope that by the time she next comes out to Tofino, the t. situation will have been figured out and dissolved. Actually, I'm hoping for it to be vaporized before noon on Sunday.... yes, I'll be in the city this weekend... anyone up for Fassil's?
