I downhauled my 4.7 to its maximum, got my wave board out and and hit the
sea, I mean the lake. At first it was very windy and I was a bit nervous.
Then I got my confidence up and went for it. I just did long reaches across
the lake falling in occasioanlly, and beaching to turn. Then I pulled of a
gybe or 2 so did gybes after that. Then the wind fell of a bit and with so
much off the sail I was barging too much.
On the axxis I got going better and had no problem going upwind. I got some
good air but tried to keep it flat a lot of the time as once airborne I was
all over place today. I did a few floaters.
It was quite gusty, but not so much it was impossible, I mean us inlanders
get used to gusty conditions, unlike you seaside fraternity who can't cope
with it!
I am feeling strong at the moment what with going to the gym for the last
3months and really pushing it, also cycling quite a bit - I mean I feel
better than in a long time since I used to be really fit. It feels good!
Neil was on his starboard wave or his freesex, and was lookin' good. Graeme
was havin a go. Colin was there but he left early, Andy Purdy looked good
too. Phil was strugglin as he forgot to use down haul, and that explained
why he was finding it quite tricky!
Well worth half a day flexi!
