Back to Shoreham, this time to get out on the wave kit. Disappointingly it
was very onshore again today - much more so than hoped/expected, and not
much difference in the wind angle compared with yesterday. Proper windy
though, and probably the biggest waves I've ever seen at Shoreham, with
several headhigh+ lumps rolling in. Due to the onshore gheyness and muchos
white water I rigged big to make sure I got off the beach. This meant I was
on the brink of being overpowered on the outside, but with the 5.2 fully
downhauled I was just about OK. A full-on session battling against the
onshore conditions and big waves with some half-decent backside
bum-wiggling, and most of it in glorious sunshine. Two harness lines died,
meaning a trip to Surfladle was necessary which ate into valuable sailing
time. All in all not a great session due to the onshoreness, but
wind+waves+sunshine = Happy Harry. Hopefully it'll be more cross-shore
tomorrow.
