Excellent session,best this year.
got there earlyish (all lorrys & people driving slower than 59mph should be banned when its windy).There was 1 other guy rigging a 4.7 which looked bout right so i went with the 5.0 & 92lt board.It was spot on not over or under powered which was a nice change.
The tide was going out & as it did the waves & swell began to grow,plenty over head high & clean,had a few nice little rides,but being plenty powered up i always seemed to outrun the waves to much as cross on.A few people made it look easy though ripping down the waves.
Jumping was excellent hard not too! witnessed push/forward & back loops.
Had been on for a couple of hours so got off for a rest/drink etc,then the sun came out-nice, but the wind dropped a touch-bummer, so stuck up the 5.7 as a few looked like they were struggling to get going.This again was perfect, for a bout 30mins then it started picking up again,quickly swapped back to 5.0 which was still rigged on beach, had plenty off power but wind kept increasing & was having hard time keeping board on the water, quickly swapped to 76lt & it was perfect, forgot how easy it is to sail when youve got the power! made the 92lt feel like a plank? again had some big air ,even bailed 1, was flying out over a few reasonable waves then the last 1 loked maybe 7ft clean face,but as i was about to go up it the top lipped over, my plan was to try & go high but the lip just catapulted me upside down & high (i think), i didnt have a clue really,threw the kit & landed with a big back slap, it felt ace....
After 5hrs called it day,no energy left.Shame as it was still howling when i left with hardly a cloud in the Sky.
