Got smashed/hammered by 5 set waves on the paddle out today. The trusty 9'6 pin tail was tomb-stoning, pulling me in...

Got swept down near the end of the reef to where I should have paddled out in the first place!!

Then, paddled back up the point, waited patiently for a nice set to come my way... Only took 5 minutes, but I was too casual on the paddling speed, and ended up getting hung up the top, and taking a very steep drop (1.5 over-head), and BLEW IT! Went over the falls... got washing machined... I'm thinking... "should I have even bothered paddling out!"...

But I got 4 really nice ones after that. Thankfully I nailed some really clean hard bottom turns, smooth top turns, and great trim speed... So I was really happy with that surf, except the FIRST 10 MINUTES!

Here's another pic of one of my favorite Single Fins of all time, and it's 9'6!
I love this Single Fin!
