AFter a 12 hour night shift it was straight down to Westward Ho! to meet Johno.When we got there is was Drizzling & cross off F2, With in a few mins it started to swing SW & pick upto bout 14knts.Rigged big kit & got on whilst lots of people stood & watched,it was full hgh tide with no beach.
After 2 runs the 5.7 started feeling a bit much,the big board bouncing a bout,the swell out the back was nice,shapping up for a good day.
Came in & changed down board but kept 5.7, was feeling knackered already.
The tide was now dropping & the waves picking up with more white water.the 5.7 now far too much,by now most people were getting on.
Got off once again(the pebble beach feeling like a mountain) & changed down to 5.0 Johno was also changing down to 4.7
The conditions were now Excellent big waves on the inside & the big swells on the outside were half mast & some 3/4's, it was nice to be on the outside riding the swells with John to gauge the size.
The wind was continuing to pick-up.Should have gone & got small board but if i had walked back up the now long walk & over the mountain dont think i would have had any energy left to walk back.
A excellent day with nice effortless gybes on huge swells, Big jumps, Nice wave rides, A few rinseings.Made monday at weymouth seem like a warm up for today....
More stars needed?????
