Shoreham was off the dial today, had a 3 hour almost non-stop session. Arrived just after the first big rain storm at 11:30 and it was all calm then the sun and wind returned and everyone dashed down again. I rigged 5m and it was peachy cross shore, but the wind kept building. So switched to the 4.5m ezzy still on JP RWW83 and had the perfect set up for the next few hours. From the off, it was down the line galore. Wave size was always boom high or more except for the occasional tiddler on the inside. Caught some bigger rides out the back. Wind absolutely howling sideshore with 5-6 foot vertical ramps and fairly flat water in between. Air time unavoidable.
A second rain squall came through, giving a bit of cross-off for a while (nice) then dropped fully. It soon came back though with the sun (and more rain later) probably 30mph wind for the remainder. Some amazing waves loomed up out the back and I'm not ashamed to say I got nailed going for a few breaking lips, one complete underwater loop still in the straps.
One of the best ever for me at Shoreham.
