Mad. mad session today.
Arrived to find it pissin down and howling a solid 30 knots+. Rigged up
between the downpours to 4.5m and wave board.
Got out and played safe on the inside but started wishing I'd got the 4.0m
on as I was well overpowered but stayed with it. Quite happy as its been
some time since I was out in these type of conditions and I did OK, went
for it landed plenty of jumps, got mullered and had a great time. Bailed
out of some jumps and a bit battered on landing but all good fun and no kit
damage.
Came in for a rest and thought about packing up but gave it another go
early afternoon as the sun came out and the wind eased just a touch
although I still read a 41 knot gust at this point. More in control this
time but soon was shattered and got a BIG blister so that was it.
Should be 5 stars really but I think I need to push on now and do a bit
more out there....
