I met George at the point and we talked about all the details of launching and landing at Clover. Thanks George for the help setting up and the photos. It was light wind and flat water which manifested as the best Tiki session I have had to date. The relatively flat water was just the thing for the Tiki! I was perfectly powered on the big Flite as long as I stayed off shore. It really got soft if I got within eyeshot of the Spiral staircase. I have realized that I do need to get more grip on the top of my Tiki board. Often I feel well connected but there are times when I try to do some foot work and if there is a bit of water crossing the board I find that my grip is lost and I fall into the sea. I had lots of fun although I was completely solo on the water. The sea got more active as the tide came in and the wind increased. I came in to switch boards for the Duke. While I was fetching my Duke I got peppered with questions from a young guy from San Francisco hoping to get a session. I gave a quick overview of the spot but wanted to get back out there. Had a nice time on the Duke which matched the increasing seas. I came in and self-landed and really enjoyed the lovely warm summer vibe on the point. I wrapped up and saw the SF guy and Rob C. setting up for a sunset session. What an awesome solo session!
