What a day, best sailing for ages. Started on the 5.0m & little board which was perfect,with the near on shore wind there were lots of waves about & a fair amount of white water,after a few runs i ventured out the back,picking the route out essential not to get munched, the waves were big, after a while John ventured out as well which was ace to both be out there in these conditions,whilst Stu ollie & phil stayed closer to shore.
The wind was increasing & so it seemed the size of the waves with sets coming through,jumping was ace, so high but controllable, gybeing on the faces sometimes was a heart in the mouth moment but such a great feeling.
After a couple of hours the 5.0 was too much, so got off to change down as did everyone else,me to a 4.5m & others to 4.2m\'s.had some lunch & a rest.
Part 2, launched with 4.5m & overpowered! so as much downhaul as poss.this was ok.tried to get out the back now but as the tide had dropped there was more white water alot further out, this was deffinatelty a place not to go down, reading the waves & where they were gonna peak & break was the order of the day, but with plenty of power in the sail & loads of speed i could bounce up over huge white water as sometimes there was no where to go, but you had to fully committed.These were the best condition's ive sailed for ages & i didnt want it to end, not a day to try stunts or tricks out there.
after a while i stayed more in shore, where thewaves were alot smaller but still very good,getting 5-8 jumps on every run, doing big 1 handed floaty jumps :)
i could go on for ages, such a good day with freinds in top conditions.
