Remains of ex-hurricane Bertha produced a meaty depression, loads of rain in the morning with SSE winds that swung westerly.

Launched at 3pm, 2 hours before low tide, but more like 2 hours after, the south wind pushed the tide higher snd held it up. The result was almost standing waves ont he bar and oddly no wind in the breakers!

4.5 was prob too big, but I think 3.7 would have been too small.

(Crash) landed a back loop in the straps with nose of board going into water, but then face planted into sail. Felt good with easy smooth rotation, maybe sheeting out at end may help?
