Arrived an it looked like a healthy 6.5m day, then I saw someone heading
out on a 4.7m. There was a bit of a shadow at the water's edge because
there was a hint of offshore. Didn't quite believe it was 4.5m weather so
opted for a 5m and went with the floatier board to get through the wind
shadow.
Headed out and 100m out was hit by a monstrous wind. Fantastically
overpowered for about an hour. I didn't think I was ever going to coe down
from some of the jumps. Actually, I would have prefered a smaller sail,
but as it was already about 4pm, I didn't bother.
Came in to change to my wave board and this made things a bit more
controllable, but as usual, the wind dropped a little, so had to scurry
back to swap to the JP again. Was feeling nicley powered up and so I
figured I'd go for a loop. Much pain and some very gory shins, but I had
three attempts before calling it a day, vowing to have a go next time. An
excellent day. Probably the best this year. Five stars even though I
didn't do a loop and came of the water losing blood.
