Laniakea 4-5 occ 6
Braved the crowd and chop at laniakeas, but was rewarded with a definte session. Super fun 4-5 occ pluses (hawaiian scale, please dont kill me) roping rights, and actually pretty clean on the face. Managed to finagle a bunch of good ones from the crowd somehow, like 100 yard rides on two of em.
The crowd at lanis today looked to me what I would imagine Mailbu is like, people just lined up diagonally and out the entire length of the wave.
It was cool there were about 6-7 girls holding the end bowl, all bunched up together getting a few.

Laniakea 6-8, some chop on it
The north wind was blowing hard, and the sky is grey, but there were clean faces out at Lanis. Surfed for only a hour around 1, but it was pretty crowded and hard to get waves.
Came back before dark I could see it had cleaned up and the parking lot was almost empty now, compared to overflowing earlier.
The end bowl was about 4-6, the way outside main peak was probaly 6-8. My plan was actually to sit on the end, but I saw Garrett ride a wave past me as I paddled out so I wanted to get a big one. Paddled way out and caught a huge one which closed out. Did the complete tour with a bunch of waves on the head.
After that I sat on the end and rode 6 foot until dark on my 7'2".
Pretty funny because my friend was supposed to surf with me but he thought it looked like junk so he didn't go out. Missed it!
