What a difference 10 hours makes, and what a perfect sesssion.

Same kit and same location as this mornings sail, but more wind and more waves and things were just perfect. It felt as though all my other recent sessions were simply practise session for the real thing that we had this evening... Proper SW wind and waves and true Borth conditions.

Darren was already on the beach and had been out all afternoon, along with a few others who had all packed up and gone home. He said they all left dejected and beaten by the conditions at Borthm having spent the day getting beaten up by the whitewater. As far as I could tell it was one of their first forays onto the sea, and Borth in a SW, even in August, isn't the place for the faint-hearted!!

Darren and I soon got on the water. I was perfectly powered up and balsting out through the white-water then boosting some pretty big jumps off the steeper waves out the back. Right out the back there were some nice bug overhead high swells to sail on and gybe on, before heading back in towards the shore at ridiculous speeds. My Hifly board isn't really made for wvaes, but it coped OK.

Darren was struglling this time to get out through the waves, as he was pretty exhausted after sailing all afternoon. I however was having a whale of a time, sailing whereever I wanted whenever I wanted, getting some big jumps and some really nice backside wave-rides.

Miguel came to the beach to go kite0surfing, but thought better of it when he saw the conditions and just flew a small foil on the beach instead.

As far as I was concerned it was just a perfect session, and I was sailing as well as I ever have.
