Let me say that Lancelin was EPIC this w/e
2m faces common, up to 3m........
SAT: so OK, I f.cked up, kite too small, got eaten. Should have gybed ....still think I could have got over that mother...... Swim in from 1 km out
no probs, only ripped out my 5th line, destroyed my oh **** handle, broke my front port side line. It only took 2 hours to sort out the mess. I was out there again. Main break to myself, everyone else back in the pub I guess. S'pose you get that when its night time.
SUN: 25kn, surf UP, cruising on the surf board on a 7m kite to spare the repaired lines...........groooooooveey. Hmmmmmm.....30kn, better change to the 122 flx to get grip on the water. Amazing what a little lateral resistance does to string tension.
TWANG!
Cleaned out second day in a row, swim in from 1.5km south passage lano (do I have a big "L" on my head??
Hey, but I'm still smiling
But I DID RE- learn some lesons.
Never compromise on your lines. Don't trust a bowline!
Oh, and NEVER miss an epic swell[}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]
Oh, and a big thanx to the pole surfer who held onto my board until I got my sh1t together. I'll fax you my 1st born
