Distance Covered:

Loads of wind forecast and passing Dip looked like big shore dump and no one there so went to Golf. Peter went to get his gear. Sea looked good but very windy. A couple of kiters also out on 6m, saying it was too big.
Tacked to sail opposite Dip where sea was best. Very windy and kept taking off going out, but coming in was great with breaking waves and smooth faces. Vans were against the back wall at Dip hence I missed them. A few more came out until wind increased even more and we got blown out. I did half a foreward loop (meant to do nothing), heard the sail smack the water then my head went through. One panel gone and tack ripped for about a foot and half but still atached enough to water start and easily sail in on a baggy 3m. Got eough gybes in the have enjoyed it. Darren offered me his 4.2m, but I reckon I'd have wrecked that too as wind was really mental by now.
