Sweet session at beach 66 with PaulP & Hot Fuzz.
Saw big Mark struggling with 5.7m & his yellow freesex, so went 5.9m Duke
on my Hawk 123.
PaulP & Hot Fuzz had gone out on 5.5-5.8m rigs but on smaller boards. As
they'd stole a charge on me being local, they were ready and out before I'd
got changed. They went off on a downwinder which just confirmed my board
choice was hopefully the right one!
Big Mark offered me a lift back from the Sovereign Centre as I was
launching, which was comforting, but pretty soon I was up by the Sovereign
Sailing Club, upwind of the launch spot. Not long after, the riff raff saw
the light and changed up boards and could stay uptide / upwind and were
enjoying a summer session in the sun, bumping, jumping & blasting for a
good 3 hours or so.
It wasn't Big Wednesday as promised by RichC, but it was a sweet summer
session none the less.
I was tempted to go 'backie' on the jump Paul mentioned, but with RichC out
with sprained ankle and having seen Jon Harmer on his crutches, the brain
cells took over the ejut impulse and I managed to revert to a nice elegant
tail first 'plop'
