I just couldn't resist another session and the wind was still howling so after doing 'family things' all day long, a fair bit of gardening and watching the Grand Prix I headed back to the estuary... When I got there it was mad, the tide was a fair way in and the water was a mass of foam and spray, sand was blowing everywhere and the anenometer was hovering around 35 knots.... Absolutely homping!!

As the sputnik and 5m had been a little too much of a handful in the 30 knots this morning (well, it is a pretty big board for me) I decided to go for some more control this afternoon and rigged my 4.5m and wave board... Glad I did as it was just perfect. So much more control and responsiveness meant I could go for it a bit more on the flattish section (although there was mad chop everywhere), but still play around chop hopping where the chop was bigger (chest high in places). Had some really nice speed runs which felt extra fast due to the choppy water and the skittery nature of the smaller board, had some nice chop hops as well and even managed a few wave-ridey carves on some of the bigger bits of chop.... Lovely.
