Hayling Island sand bar once again for low tide. 5.30-7pm

Powere up on 5.8 and 95L, although should have used smaller fin as wind was not as light as I expected and with the bigger fin (27cm) the board is not as loose as it can be. But anyway, very enjoyable 90 mins, with a few jumps and rides.

The set waves seemed to get smaller after half hour or so, ending up only being no more than 2 foot. But it is August, so very good.

I think I have learnt quite a bit just in the last 2 days for going DTL, twisting at the hips, driving more of the front foot etc..very pleased with myself. My riding is still shockingly bad though!
