Leasowe

Finally got my birthday windsurf 4 days late, Leasowe was barley delivering the goods but it was do-able, due to desperation! 

Got there at 8:00 to try and make the most of the tide which wasn't worth it as the wind didn't really kick into 9:00, and Leasowe wasn't really delivering the goods with only tiny mush to play with, but with my big Moo and 5.4 i made of the most of what was there.  

It was pretty cold  but I managed! Whilst Jay went in for a bit becasuse his hards where cold, an lady took pity and told him to palce his hards under her dogs front legs, I guess for a grope? 

Good to see Jon from Moo with his cool looking new twin, the photos look sweet but close up, it's another story!

 Cracking out gayrial

After Touching Up The Dog Jay Decided to go for a Sail

Wildlife Special

Sammy the Seal

Well with the pathetic wind-forecast over this week and my new mission to get one the water at least once a week I resorted to taking out the bic's (kayak's, but thats a filthy, filthy word) with Jay. 

With a massive tide we decided to see what there is to see in the murky waters of the dee, and well there is a fair bit. We first headed towards Little Maui where the seals hang out, and then to Hilbre Island to have look at the cave, where jay took a swim, funny as hell but understandable he's no kayaker!

Looking at the cave's

Just to clarify i only went out because i was desperate and wanted to try my camera out well thats what i'm saying!!!!

Get Going

It's been a disappointing week for wind, managed a quick session at the lake on saturday morning before the wind died,  4.7 and freestyle and only one other person out (gilly).  The forecast looks even more depressing as well, but this isn't a reason to demotivate yourself its a reason to motivate yourself for the next time!!

It always seems harder to motivate yourself  for your next session especially when it winter, but there is so many ways to get yourself going:

Exercise - it just makes sense if you don't your lose what you had so just go out and do it, it's not all about going to gym, press-up's and sit up in the front room riding a bike having a crazy hour were you just run around the house it all works and adds up!

DVD's -  Although not exercise after watching a good windsurf/surf dvd I just want to go out, run up and down the stairs, not the same as scoring perfect windsurfing weather but turly inspiring makes you think what you can do next time!!

Books - I hate fiction books why read about a irrelevant story about someones fair tale? but a proper book can be really

inspiring, recently I just read 'Eddie Would Go', and what a life eddie lived makes you just want to do something and it great to see how inspired so many people to do there best.

Another great book which i bough after seeing Stu with it is Laird Hamilton's new book, Lairds philosophy on almost everything but he talks so much sense.

On a good note i won a t shirt through the beach telegraph what a result, i never win anything! plus it a really good website well worth a check, for hook ups on the latest windsurf news and video's

Ready to Go!!!

Just couldn't keep it to myself looks pretty sweet and with a 15 megapixel camera hopefully going to get some quality shots!!! So i ready to go got some surf fins just need the wind to do it magic and it to warm up a bit!!!

Do I Jinx Stu?

After a week of looking at the pressure charts Stu me and Jonny called Dinas. It was pretty windy when my and jonny set of from West K and even more so when we headed pass Llanfairfechan 40Kt + so when we arrvied at dinas you would know how disappointed when we were greeted with less than 12 knots.

We decided to wait around after such a long drive we guessed, we can always cross our fingers, but to no avail. Decided to give it a go but a baby moo was more like a submarine and Stu tried to have a surf but there was just to much water moving about it pretty much sucked!

This is the third time i've been somewhere/planned to do something with stu kinda wondering if we jinx each other. Hopefully things come it threes and it over now so bring on some solid wind and waves!!
