Another weekend, another dawnie...! The alarm went off at 5.30am, and at
5.45 I finally slid out of bed. Ed turned up at 6.15, slung the gear in the
back of his car, had a quick brew and we were off...
Camber this time, and a morning of longboard action. Ed was on his
Lightning and 7.5, I was on the IMCO and a 7.0. We were first on the water,
'cept for a SUPer. We were both planing easily, today when we'd have been
bogging on shortboards. That IMCO really flies, especially upwind. I had to
keep consciously scrubbing of ground downwind so I didn't have too far to
get back. It was quite hard work however, as the IMCO was slippery as an
ice rink having had the grip worn off over the years. I'd also forgotten
how knackering uphauling is! Still, had a cracking sail for about 1 and
half hours (making that 39 for the year), then a fry up at the beach
caf.... luuuverly!!
Shawn, Stu and Jason turned up as we were calling it a day - we watched
them from the caf and they seemed to be planing at times, although the wind
had picked up a bit by then.
