After the Mountain boarding session, heard the surf was good so went out
early afternoon. The hurricane that ruined the British rowing teams
Atlantic effort was almost upon us so was producing some huge waves. The
waves were bloody huge, never seen them so big here. Not many people out at
the back, only the pros!
Caught a few of the broken waves on the white water and rode a few of them
in. thought I'd be a bit adventurous and try and go out the back.
Paddled out and eventually got there, took me 25mins paddling out and got
absolutley thrashed getting out there. Was such a releif and my arms felt
as though they were lead, could hardly move them after that so waited
around at the back with the good guys and watched them for a while cathing
some real good waves.
A few 8 foot sets then came through and broke before us which again
thrashed me back towards the shoreline. thought enough was enough so headed
back into the shallows and caught a few of the white water waves back in. 4
hours in the water and I was absolutely knackered. Could hardly feel my
arms after all that paddling.
Later heard there were a few 10 foot sets coming through on Fistral so
perfect for the Rip Curl boardmasters
