It had been a miserable day sat in watching surf videos waiting for wind as
it was pouring doen outside. However around 3pm the skies started to clear
and the wind picked up so we went across to the beach.
When we got there Derek and ben were playing around with kites and the wind
was around 18 knots so I rigged my 5.7m and big board. As i did so the wind
filled in and ben went off to get his windsurfing kit expecting to rig a
4.5m. Steve rigged his 5.5m and small board so I decided to leave my big
kit rigged and also rig my 5.0m and wave board and go out on that.
The 5.0m was fine most of the time but there were some big lulls, in which
I just sunk and I was never maxed out on it. So I ended up messing around
going out first on the big bard with the 5m, then back to the 5m and wave
board, then out with the 5.7m and big board. The winds were gusty and no
combination was perfect. I should have got my old Hifly board out really as
the 5.7m and a 85 ltr board would probably have been the best combination
for the conditions.
It was still pretty good though, with some good runs, the odd jump and some
nice little wave-rides. Ben and I got pretty close on one wave! Ben left
first and Steve and I stayed on the water until around 8pm.
