Amazing day out at tofino. I've kited tofino a few other times, but this time was by far the most intense. The first 15 minutes I spent getting pretty beat up, and learning to chase down my board in the surf. After that I got the hang of jumping the incoming waves to get out the big cleaner breaks further out. A few times I was riding straight out I came face to face with some absolute monsters cresting. I'm sure my adrenaline was pumping harder than ever when carving off the bottom of some of those waves knowing that it was bearing down me, ready to wipe me out. Definately an experience, unlike any other I've had out there. Will be back....
once my ear heals and I get my hearing back... had some pretty hard impacts, and may have ruptured my ear drum :? ... pretty painful at the moment. I think i'll take it a little easier next time.
