11th January 2004 Boogie Boarding: Porth Oer Wind Direction: West/ South west Wind Stength: KABLOOEY! Surf / Sea State: 5ft faces semi clean Air Temperature: brass monkeys Sea Temperature: brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Weather: bright Max Speed: Distance Covered: After the Arrival of Bodhi, we legged it off to Abersoch! A nice quiet run in and after a brief stop at westcoast surf it was on to hells mouth. I knew the report was "winter storm conditions" and thats exactly what it was. White water carnage! No chance of catching anything but froth. So we left the only freak in the water trying to catch something and tried to find Porth Oer. After the stupid Sat Nav woman showed us the entire penisula we eventually found it and did one to the beach. I have to say i'm impressed by this beach. From the carnage of hells mouth this was like a little gem! It had nice wedging thick waves- far from perfect due to the wind but definatly surfable with the odd monster thrown in for good measure! We got suited and booted (Jeeezus...it was cold) and swam straight out to the back due to a beautful little channel that runs on the left next to the rocks. I immediatly caught a wave and binned it and when I finally came to the surface I was greeted with an ice cream headache from hell! Some little gremlins had deceided to occupy my skull and start drilling into my left eyeball! Anyway... I caught a few nice waves the best being a monster that I truley dominated. After a nice cutback it decieded to break on me.."Erm what do you think your doing" I shouted at it. I'd be buggered if I was going to loose this beauty! A quick kick and a dip and I was on another clean part "Have that" I screamed! I raced it to the top of the wave to see it wanted to break again "I've already told you....Nooooo NOT YET" another cheeky cutback onto a clean part and I belted like a bat out of hell into that feeling of euphoria all surfers know! Then it dumped me on the beach! It was truley my fault for getting carried away on the wave and not noticing the shore quickly approaching. I undug myself from the sand and saw Bodhi's smile in amongst the waves! Fists waving high in triumph I dove back in. Appart from my hands becoming worringly numb (I must buy gloves) it was a great day with great people! Although I did go through a moment of utter hatred towards that nasty wind! Cheers for driving Jeff! |
