After discovering a striped thread on my fin bolt yesterday and therefore
unable to get out I was saved by SimonC today who popped into a hardware
store on his way to the beach and got me a little nut and bolt that allowed
me to bodge things so that I was able to connect board and fin.
By the time I'd done this though I only had a short time to get to the
beach and rig up for a fast and frantic half hour session on the water. I
went out with my 4.5m and little wave board which thankfully was just right
so I had a good half hour nicely powered playing in the whitewater. Some
nice jumps and gybes but it was all over far too soon as I had to get back
home, pack up and head off to do some work.
Still, at least i got out even if only for a short while and the going was
good whilst I was out so I can't complain too much.
Thanks Simon, you rescued a very frustrated windsurfer! And thanks to Dunk
too who has just delivered several other options for fixed board and fin
together which should enable me to get out until I get myself some more
spares.
