Big waves in Kernow

2/5/2011

4 Comments

 
Waves are pumping in strong corss offshores. The Bluff last 2 mornings has been huge, triple overhead yesterday and 21/2 overhead today on the 7 rebel with some absolute crackers and a few closeouts meaning having to dive out through the back as it was sucking sand and draining off the bar. Some of the waves going right looked like snapper or somewhere absolutely dredging with the bigger lefts looking like chopes as you were trying to outrun tem and make it out without getting destroyed.
Still had a blast strapless all by myself yesterday morning then it was like the whos who of UK wave kiting in the afternoon with myself, Rob, Will and Sillsy all strapless with a few others out strapped having the waves of their lives amongst the windsurfers. Was a lot smaller than the morning but still head and half easy with some nice walls as the tide came up.
Only greif came wit Blackie on his windsurfer running over Sillsys lines and then almost having a punch up 'Dont you know who I am' !
Still the local boys (myself, Will B, Sillsy & Alex Hapgood) showed the blow ins and the 20 odd winsurfers how wave riding is meant to be done-NO STRAPS & IN THE POCKET!
Back to
Then this morning was back on it early and it was huge again. No one else outapart from me then finall Rob and 1 other ventured out for a little bit while the windsurfers took cover on the rocks!
Was awesome to start with, long grinding double overhead+ lefts smacking about 5 turns each wave then on my 4th i hit the lip a millisecond too late and got my board in the nose causing a blood explosion. Got  the other guy to ave a look out the back and after the blood stopped decided to stay out for another hour and half.
Once it was closing out too much came in to look in the mirror to find a big hole under my nose and a cut going into left nostril. Bugger!
Been to hospital and got it glued wit the nurse saying you must stay out of thge water for 5 days. yeah yeah!
Got some spare glue off her but going to have tomorrow off and get back on it monday!
Will try get the pics and vid off the guys and stick em up.
Happy safe riding
Lee
