Distance Covered:

Proper April shower type weather. Clear blue skies one moment, then horizontal hail the next.

Arrived when tide was still high and dumping, and no one was out on the water. Car park was full with people waiting for the water to recede. Wind was up and down so couldn't decide what to rig. Waited for the first guinea pigs to go out; one was on a 5.4 and well powered up.

Decided on the 5.2 in the end and it was too big. Was too overpowered to be able to try any proper jumps or gybes. Came in after about an hour to change to the 4.5. Whilst de-rigging a random French (?!) guy who had been out rushed up to me and asked if he could borrow my boom to help save one of his friends. Gave it to him not being sure if I'd ever see it again, but carried on rigging anyway. Then the meatiest of the hail storms passed over, so sat in the car waiting for it to clear, and then the guy came back with my boom so all was well.

By the time I got out again the tide had dropped right off leaving flat water on the inside of the sand bar. Blasted around for a bit in the easier conditions. The wave board wasn't ideal for the flat water so came in again and changed onto the Bee. When I went out again though the wind was dropping. Had a couple of runs then came in.

Not a great session due to the wierd weather and poor initial kit selection, but not bad. Was good when the sun was shining.
