Just had 4 days straight of epic conditions down here in west cornwall.
Thursday was classic kiting on the 9m Rebel at Gwithian, mast high waves and even a barrel for Silsy before getting caned.
Friday was huge mast and half and super windy, I was on 4m kite before it suddenly switched onshore and it was way too big to ride in cross on wind.
Saturday was sick, super offshore but again the 2011 North Rebel 9m shone and worked amazing. Really showed the windsurfers who were down for the British champs, how to ride waves properly and without the need for straps!
All in all 3 solid days of kiting and scoring more waves than all the windsurfers put together!
Today sunday was epic Leven for surfing 6ft plus and wide barrels. Had to work catching crabs first but managed to get a few in after. Bit rusty after concentrating on the race board all summer and not much swell around but had a few nice lefts and a real nice right.
So pleased the swell is back now so can get my surfing back up to where I was last winter.
Awesome forecast for wind & waves the rest of the week now, winter is finally here.
Ye Ha!
