Perfect session apart from the lack of water. It was a quite a low level high tide and a late one so sailed till sunset. Was totally maxed out to start with and had a few mad runs that ended in some spectacular crashes. I was struggling to keep the big board in the water as it was bouncing and flying of every little wave resulting in big wipeouts. Managed quite a few water starts again today so think im gettin to grips with them although I still got catapulted over the front of the board a few times.
The wind dropped off at the end slightly to a nice managble strength and I was still planing. Would of been a perfect session had there been a higher tide as I had quite a walk out to the water at first. I kept running into the shallows throughout the session which resulted in the skeg digging into the soft mud sending me flying over the front quite a few times as well. Managed to rip a hole in the bottom of my sail as well so gotta do another repair to this already knackered sail.
