Intro to our instructor, Colin, and a round up of everyones ambitions for
the week. My personal goal was to learn to pop the board, as opposed to
chop hop, to improve my Vulcan attempts. One of the guys wanted to learn
to loop, like most, but he was 69!!! Definitely gives hope for the
future.
The wind kicked in at 2 pm and we all dived out on 5.0 m as it looked quite
strong. It was a false alarm and we all spent an hour wobbling around on
85 L boards before giving up on the lessons. The wind came back late and I
spent a couple of hours on a Tabou Pocket Wave 85 and a Manic 5.3. Superb
little board for 360's but you need to be quick to tack.
Retired to the bar as the wind died.
