Steel Wheels

~Photo by Ron Church

SW WIND 5 TO 10 KT. WIND WAVES 1 FOOT. W SWELL 4 FT AT 9 SECONDS.
Phil Edwards styling on steel wheels. Making it look easy and in control...like when he surfed primitive 10 foot single fin logs at Pipeline. Still, I imagine even Phil would crash on a steel wheeled skate...
Local Report:
...surfed until ten pm tonight. Found a nice bar farther north up the beach that was pulling in some southerly (not very big, but certainly fun). Surfed wedgy peaks for a couple hours, then body surfed, then tandemed . . . until we finally decided to call it a night nearly an hour after sunset. ~lappis

Ah ye ole stele wheels. Soild little summer swell the past few days from that low off of BC, 5-6 feet at 10-11 seconds. Saw the window open and jumped. Good to see a little power out there after weeks of gut-less-ness. Not the cleanest swell but fun rippable waves at HH with sets HH+ on the drop at the right time and right place for the conditions. Minus low early morning grinders provded some well needed and rare July shack time. Killer way to beat the heat!
