Shoreham for me from half five til a dark 8:15pm. Started on a 4.5m and changed down to a 4.0m soon after. If I'm honest, it sucked for most of the time. It was very frustrating to not have enough power on the inside or find that the waves just wouldnt stand up. No excuses though, that's for me to sort out in my head. I stuck it out til night time by way of pennence for switching to a smaller sail, for choosing Shoreham in the first place and just not being on the boil. It paid off in the end: the wind stayed strong and a little cleaner, a few waves formed up, everyone left and I found a much happier place. Some decent hacks and whallops today that will be good practise for a solid autumn day.

Oh, and I found, rescued and returned a kiteboard from out back.
