Forecast for today was good but a mid-afternoon high tide necessitated a drive to Worthing. On arrival at the cafe I was greeted by loads of sailors changing down from 5.0s so I pulled out the 4.5. But the bloody head webbing snapped as I was downhauling it ARRRGGGHHH. So the 5.3 was rigged with some trepidation but this turned out to be a wise choice as the wind wasn't as strong as anticipated and also gusty.

The first 20mins were great. Ramps galore so I went forward loopy. Scored loads of good rotations including a couple of stonking big endos that got the thumbs up from mates who witnessed. Was soooo close to landing them dry!!! Feel like I could almost claim one but will confess that the buttocks got wet so no cigar. Loving that move. :)

Unfortunately jumping conditions deteriorated as high tide approached and then I was victim of more damn webbing failure, this time on my harness, resulting in a premature close of play. Good fun whilst it lasted though in glorious sunshine throughout and still plenty warm enough for the dreaded boots to stay in the van.
