I was making a 6x slow-motion of Kevin Kan’s shove-its, so I and my buddies could study it. I could not resist the urge to slap a music and run it at full tilt. If you look at the time counter, he was cranking one every 4 min on average

Seeing on WRAMS a promise of improbable winds at this time of year, I promptly took a day off. Although 30kt average did not materialize, I was able to sail my 84L wave (and tack it twice). Never mind his messed up ankle, Kevin Kan delivered quite a performance. Team Crushpad (Dave) showed Aaron a thing or two about catapults
