Chanced another session up at Ratty based on the Ceefax forecast which suggested a F5 may be possible at Rattray Head - around a mile and a half north of where we launch from. Brought the 8m along with me after yesterday, and both Rob and I went for the biggest kjit we had as the waves were small and we were unlikely to trash them. Planing fairly easily in the early part of the session, particularly when catching the swells on the way back to the beach. When the tide turned and started pushing in some small waves sets were starting to form and we had a laugh trying to ride them with the big kit - fun, but not epic by any stretch of the imagination. The wind started to drop off even more by around 4pm, so we bogged upwind to the carpark and went home. Forecast for next weekend is looking mental though, so something to look forward to.
