Firewire SUNDAY (Helium)

Sunday mornings for me start later than most mornings.

It’s really a family day…. We wake up, take it slow…. Might be a surf involved before breakfast with my daughter or my son, but we’re never in a hurry to get there. We usually go to the farmer’s market before noon and stock up on produce.

In the afternoon I’ll ride my bicycle down to Cardiff reef and maybe paddle out the 7-foot Sunday for a cruise. Then before sunset I’ll ride the 5’6 at Seaside if its good.

My favorite thing about the Sunday is how it occupies both sides of the spectrum. I ride both the 5’6 and the 7’0. That covers a lot of territory.

The 5’6 is about six liters more volume than I’d normally ride in a shortboard. And that’s the most important thing – size up your Sunday. Don’t be shy. Ride more volume and relax.

If you want to draw out turns and flow, ride it as a single fin. You can set it up as a twin fin if you want to liven it up. It’s a win both ways. Sunday is always fun.
