A lovely early morning session in the estuary. Started off well powered with a flatly rigged 5.6 and my Naish Hybrid Freewave. Some nice seed runs in the channel, but nothing too fast as that board just isn't particularly fast.

As the tide filled in the wind eased quite a bit but I was still OK on that kit as a few kiters and another windsurfer (Nigel) joined me. The wind continued to ease once the others got on the water and I was soon forced to change u to a bigger board. Still able to cruise nicely around the estuary though.

Had a few attempts at Duck Gybes, carving 360's and body drags. Made the duck gybes, got close to a 360 and got wet during the body drags! Good fun though and gorgeous weather.
