Distance Covered:

Took a days holiday to head West with Ian. Checked out K-Bay at 8am, dead onshore small waves.

Arrived at Ringstead about 9, looked a bit more sideshore than K-Bay so went for 4.7. Sail cjhoice was okay when wind was blowing, but in the lulls (and there were many) I was sinking!

Sailed through high tide (11am) and onto about 1pm after a bit of pasta. Waves seemed to shape up a bit better with the tide being a bit lower.

Decided to move onto Overcombe. Arrived and tide was still a bit high for the small waves, but eventually rigged a 5.2 and wave board. Soon as I walked to the shore line, rain pissed down and the wind went offshore and switched off!! Leaving 2 other windsurfers to swim in!

Packed up and drove home!
