South Wales Slabs. Day 2

These slabs create one of the best rights we've got here in South Wales. It doesn't work too often but when it does it puts up one of the most rippable long waves you'll get here in the UK. No photos of the sailing and no hint of the spot though, as i'd have a Sheldon at each ankle if i did.

Up at 5.30 am and on the road to meet up with a few of the boys for 8am. On arrival it was looking fun 4.7 head to logo cross off. Once it starts hitting the point it glasses off into the first bowl then turns into a long right wall good for 5 or 6 bottom turns. It was super fun for 2 hours but hell cold..
The standard of sailing up there has been going through the roof the last few years. Local chargers the Sheldon Twins and Gethin Edwards are getting pushed. Jim Brookes of Puravida put his local knowledge into full effect and tore into it as usual linking from the point to the inside. Pete Bird and Dej Serra, 100% commited in every section which makes good viewing for us but expensive for Pete.. 3 masts in 3 sessions.. 


I spent the rest of the day having a guided tour of the Puravida HQ by Jim and Tanya Brookes. Got to hand it to them, its an impressive set up. Custom board factory, repair center, hot tub, demo center, offices and a stacked shop. Check it out  http://www.puravidaboardriders.co.uk/homenew/  

The second reason for heading over to Puravida was to pick up my new masts of my new sponsor. Cheers No Limitz.

 Seem to look like a farmer in these profile shots. Something to work on there.
