Windswell at Logs, Training
Surfed log cabins right before dark, it was almost head high on the sets, but not real good shape on the face. I did score one long right all the way down the beach, pretty fun.
I have been doing the training thing with Garrett the last couple days, and it's amazing the progression I have been feeling. Typically we have been running the beach at Waimea for about 1/2 hour, then 1 hour of cave diving. It's super fun doing the cave diving, especially when you feel yourself progressing.
When I first tried to do the rock carry, I could only go down to the rock then turm around and go back to the top ( the rock is about 30-40 feet deep.) Now I can go down and carry it about 30 feet or so.
We are going tommorow morning and my Photog friend John Jones is coming with his scuba gear and underwater video camera, so if I get some footage out of it I will post!

the cave diving sounds like a blast. now, if you're diving down to a rock and running with it along the bottom, you're making a 30' free dive without fins, right? pretty impressive. are you guys running and then free diving right afterwards? how many days a week are you doing this?

Yes, we run on the beach, then do the free diving after, but we take like a half hour break usually.
Actually its like 40 feet, and we use our fins to get down to the rock, then take them off or run backwards with the fins on.
It's been about 4-5 days a week, I've gone 5 times in the last 8 days or so...

pretty impressive. i'm jealous actually. i'd love to have the time to do that kind of workout. it'd also help to have some nice warm clear water too. ;) soon, though. soon.
