Was first on the beach again other than the campers which were still alseep as was the wind. Had a walk up the beach along to the point and came back via the dunes and put some more footprints in the dune that me and Al defaced on the last FON trip.
The wind picked up as people started to disapear home.
Wasn't really enough wind but rigged up 7m and 112 lt board (on flat water would of been 8.5 and big techno)
Made my way out over the mush and breaking waves but just wasn't enough wind to get going managed to ride a coulpe of waves though. Had a stand about on the beach and watched Al launch his kite but not before some little rat of a dog cocked its leg on it.
Wind picked up a little so went back out got a couple of planning runs in was a bit hairy over the swell and keeping the board on the water was difficult and landing the jumps even harder. Managed one gybe on the outside no where near planning though was just happy to stay dry. Had some good runs coming back in sailing along the beach on the flat water between the breaking waves.
Then waves seamed to get bigger and the wind got very gusty made things very difficult I would try and get out through the white water but the board would just stick luff up and sink on me then I got nailed by the next wave coming through. Decided to call it a day when the I got nailed and the board popped back up and gave me an uppercut any boxer would of been proud of just nicked the the side of my tougue so was spitting blood for a while.(while I still had my teeth)
The remaining FON visitors headed back to Al's new house for tea and biscuits.
As it was time to head home the wind picked back up as you can guess Al went for another sail , I was temped but I had a 200 drive home to look forward to.
