Stalling and pulling in
Saturday saw some sick waves and my 2nd best session ever at our best and rarest spot- Porthleven.
After a few sick surfs there lately the conditions were right on sat 26th feb for a kite. Cross off winds, neap tides and decent swell all came together for a couple of sick hours with me gettting it by myself for the most part while it was cranking. As I hit the water Blackie was out windsurfing proving that it was windy enough for the 7 Rebel, no straps,perfect!
Lining up and almost getting slotted on a few I was soon by myself after Blackie got caught out on a set and washed onto the reef.
Lining up way behind the normal surf take off spot and then stalling as much as I could I got in on a few but not super deep as couldn't stall as much as I wanted with a real off shore wind and the wave grinding. After 21/2 hours I headed in as the wind dropped a bit and the swell started to drop off with the outgoing tide. I drifted my way back to the landing spot to find Willl, Dom, Smiler and Milson all on the beach keen as even thoug it was now only good not epic!
Check a few of the pics my bro took with his standard point n shoot camera. If only I can find out who the 2 guys were with big lenses, were on the pier. Could have a cover shot me thinks?
Stay tuned for more to come!
