Proper mixed bag, following an early bunk off from work.
Got to Las Dunas for early afternoon, and Rich's missus told me Rich was on 4.2m & the orange board ... Camber Mafia confirmed it was fkin windy and showed video clip of Fireman Sam bailing out from a big jump and his kit going all Pozo .....

So .. 4.2m & Twin 84.

Over the dunes, launched after battling to the waters edge against the wind ... couple of runs and the big black cloud erupted and killed the wind.

Didn'ty look like coming back for a while, but as the clearer weather pushed through, the wind returned, or perhaps we should say it's little bro popped by for a bit ...

Quick re-think, 5.9m Duke on Hawk 123 as needed float to get out. Pretty over boarded out the back, but still managed to put in some linked top & bottom turn backside rides on some real sweet waves ... would have been pure joy on a more wave oriented board, but with a 30cm Choco Starfish in there it loosened up just enough. Jumping was pretty easy on the way out though ;-)

Eventually binned it as bust one of those white Dakine harness lines ... just the plastic remained but was pretty stretchy.

Wasn't all that bad, Rich busted his FSW95 RRD ... and there were reports of other casualties too.

Fun session, but not as fun as it should have been
