Monday the 8th was a top day to have as a day off from work. The morning started off with a solid NW4-5 and great conditions were to be had on the rising tide. I spent most of the morning with a friend of mine trying to show him some basic kitesurfing skills and after a couple of hours he decided to head off and I gave it large on the 9m bolt for an hour on t'others with a couple of windsurf friends for company. It was a cracking direction heading out from the beach and hitting some sweet little ramps and cranking some big air.
A mention and full marks must go to my mate Simon Marshall who finally cracked the forward loop and threw one around landing on his back in the water start position. We all said about bloody time as it's been long time coming- must of had something to do with his new set up of boards and sails-looking good bud!
The wind continued to build and after a short relaxation session in the jacuzzi at home I was back down the beach for a late afternoon session windsurfing with Oly,Phil,Steve and a few others on the dropping tide on the Richmond side of Vazon. Phil was out on his new Fanatic single fin and I was riding the 80ltr wave board and the 5.3 Force. Great combo and fully powered on the solid westerly 5-6. It was fun hammering around but the waves were few and far between, but overall it was a great session as the sun was a shine'in and the wind was a blow'in.
Check out the couple of photos I took after the session looking towards the beach. Pretty busy down that way but looking good with loads of kiters. Where did they all come from....that blasted webcam!!! Ha,ha
