Distance Covered:

Another early start as the wind seemed to be doing its thing, so I got to the estaury at 6am. Unfortunately there wasn't enough water so I went back home and had some breakfast.

I got back to the beach at about 7am and rigged up the 13m Strike, but the gusts felt pretty big and I didn't fancy launching on my own and getting lofted so I waited for Shem to turn up. I then set up the 11m and went out with that. I was well powered up, and at times overpowered in the gusts, but had a good little session with some nice jumps. Shem was watching from the shore.

Unfortunately I had to go to work, so I couldn't stay on the water for too long.. A shame as it picked up even more during the day and would have been a good day for some decent windsurfing on my wave board too.

It's also far too hot... Can someone turn the heating down please.
