TYPHOON 2008 |
|||
This time not typhoon, just low pressure_November 13, 2008 Typhoon is not the only swell source but sometimes low pressure send good swell like typhoon do. And this time looks-like-normal-low-pressure send some sizable swell. Wind didn't accomodate but gave me once again, another chance for SUP big time challenge. During the last typhoon swell, I used Pope Trisect SUP board and found that board is not strong enough for good size wave. But I got new one and wanted to try on it anyway...Bad decision!! I caought some good waves and on the last wave, which turned out to be one of the wave-of today, I could not make last fast section and got donuts. Resulting poor Popy board in two pieces! Oh well, I push the limits for Pope Trisect SUP board at least. Sorry no surfing foto this time. |
