Cross off.
Chest High Surf
Simmer Icon 5.3 with No Limitz Sumo
Fanatic Quad 94 with Black Project 15/8
Its pretty hard to score this place as 5 days a week they use it as a Military Firing range but when you can get at it...
Seven miles of beach make it ideal for downwind wave runs to Ginst but a lack of time and organisation that day meant we missed out this time. Ten plus bottom turns a wave even at chest high make it worth the gusty slog out. Its a slow, reforming, gutless lump at times but by heck can it be fun. I love swapping turns here.
Even on the bigger days you never feel like your out of control. You can hit the lip here at any size and not really ever give it two thoughts. When it does have size you can turn here until you cant hold on.
However Saturday wasn't quite one of the classic days but fun non the less. Northy was back in the conditions he revels in, its always classic sailing with good mates here. I love to watch people ripping down the line as you sail out. It was a good day for trying out some different moves or a different move any how. I'm not really into flappy free style in waves but Ive long admired a solid goiter so Saturday was the day. Not that i got far with them but i can see where i need to be heading with it better now. One for 2012.
One other thing that i noticed Saturday was how a quad gives you so much drive and projection in slow waves in comparason to a twin. Fanatic Quad 94. Its a absolute weapon in these conditions.
After 3 hours my arms gave up and work was calling so we knocked it on the head.
Highlights.
- Northy back to form after months stuck in the office
- Goiters- working project.
- Last wave of the day... Long
Im working on Father Christmas for some new video/photo machinery to try an get some sailing related media in here.. Stand by...
Just to end here, have a look at the turn at 2.58...
