The Windsurfing Trinity

The wind has been picking back up this past week allowing us to get out and play around in freestyle conditions. Today was different gear - a good ol'fashioned no messing around low pressure sytem. YESSSSS!!!!

It was a session at 3 different locations, 3 different sails and with 3 different  friends ( well not quite the last bit but ok...).

I've got to say, the last hardcore windsurf I had was in Australia in January due to the rubbish weather the UK has been subjected to, so as I had my first session at Southbourne I was doing my best to pick back up the pace. It was pretty hectic as it usually is with quite a bit of onshore in it. Nice waves but nasty if you fall off on the sand bar.

Great to share it with Gregg, Clyde, Simon (and the first ever seal I've seen at Southbourne). Also there was a drunk on the beach, but I probably won't count him, in fact he wasn't good company at all.

Good to then head to Avon and see the local guys out.

This was then followed by breaking in to Gregg's house, abducting Grubby (his Labradoodle) and driving him to Overcombe for session number 3.

It's late now, the log burners on and it's furiously windy outside. I'm sat here with that post windsurf feeling and chilling with a cup of Lifeboat Tea feeling pretty stoked.

Out.
