Wind forecast not good for the weekend, so took a day off work as the wind was looking OK, and Dan said he would show me some of the windsurf spots around Fraserburgh. We decided on St Combs, as the wind direction would be about right. He'd been up there the day before with 30 knot winds and 12 foot waves and was pretty knackered, so a relatively easy day as forecast was on the cards - this suited me just fine! Was nicely powered up most of the time on my 6.3 and big board for around 4 hours, and it was a lovely spot. Dan was on slightly smaller kit and a little underpowered most of the time, but enjoyed the session non the less. It was pretty flat, but out beyond the point, there were some reasonable 4 or 5 foot swells, with some of them ramping up enough for some jump attempts if you were going fast enough. Dan crashed a few forward attempts, but came up smiling, whereas I just went for basic jumps. The waves were not really suited to riding on this particular day as they never really formed up properly on the reef and just kind of petered out. Definately go up there again though when the conditions look good.
