OK, OK, so it's Hayling and it's the 5.5m again... maybe I should have gone
to Pagham and snaked a few lines with Kiwi Steve :^) but I'm not
apologetic! Had a lovely time, got down 5-ish, tide on the drop, Mike T
there hoping to get going on his 5.7, sun out, Friday night - how much
better does it get?*
Rigged up quickly, went with the 430 mast instead of the Cribby suggested
400, which I will try again now I've had another 430 try, zoomed upwind to
the more bouncy zone of the sandbars and then spent 1.5 hours practising
jumping and catching the tiny waves. It gets tricky with a set of 3 closely
spaced ones, you can't jump them all and the last is often the best...
Got really thirsty so came in, but the wind dropped a bit as I did, so
happily packed up and went home. Great eve, and glad I went because it's
raining today... Maybe Pagham next time (but it's further!!).
* Possibly lots, in a number of ways, but yesterday evening it didn't feel
like it!
