else are we going to do today?”
We called everyone back to the
beach and went down to launch
again. Niccolo and his brother
Francisco came in right as we
were leaving and told us that
the wind was terrible and the
waves were inconsistent, but
we were still going to try it.
Once we arrived at Jaws we
saw another broken ski getting
towed back to shore. Meanwhile,
Robby Naish was windsurfing
and there were a few others
trying but the wind looked pretty
funky. The conditions weren’t
really that great, but when you
go through all the effort to get
up and drive the ski out to the
break, gather all the support
crew, and lineup the photographers
and videographers on
land, you feel obligated to give
it a go. I was also really pumped
to go surf so with everything
in order I launched off the ski.
That’s when I knew the day was
turning around.
Despite the conditions my Naish
Pivot felt great. I had a fire
ball of rage inside me that had
built up from a long day of frustration.
The only thing I could
do was let it out in my riding. I
went full speed and had the sickest
kite session at Jaws yet.
(Barrel sequence from this sesh
in mag). We found ourselves
out there with no one else at
the peak of the swell. This never
would have happened if the
ski worked the first time. The
valuable lesson learned from
this day is that when something
goes wrong and it feels like the
worst possible result, sometimes
if you stick with it, it all
works out for the better.
