Traffic continued to be light, with just a hand full of dedicated souls showing up for the first boat this morning. On Regulator, the surface was smooth, firm, and nicely prepared, offering good traction, and some loose wind accumulated sections that let you dial in some needed speed reduction. The light was super flat and dark with the Sun still rising later everyday. However, with the great cover, consistent industrial smoothing, and predictable pitch changes, it was easy to keep a good cadence top to bottom. Big Emma also was offering some freshly tilled lines that made those early laps dialable and controlled.
Off the prepared lines is very thin and the interference patterns on the right side of Big Emma are very abrupt and difficult. Best to leave them for softer days. Tomorrow, look for more light traffic, smooth training runs, and good vibes from the excited sliders enjoying these early season moments. Keep it real!!
