What a Week!!!

Gaskin's Evo after a long walk back from the beach

Last week saw an epic pressure system blow through, with 6/7 days windy!! and some where lucky enough to score almost every day (Jon who was getting some important testing in). I managed three days.

Monday I was up at 7:00 to get to Leasowe, and it was blowing it socks off (35kits+) and being on my 4.2 I managed two runs before coming in, a bit of a downer but at-least I got back for 9:00 and a second breakfast!!!

Wednesday I went to West K to catch a classic 'Kirby Day' with a strong NW blowing it shaped up to be a pretty awesome session. Gaskin and Alex Gloyne were out, Gaskin was going for and looking pretty good although still he's still insisting any wind is 4.7mtr wind. Whilst we were out the tide managed to fill the lake and it was just to easy for alex and me to drop in over from the beach, managed a couple of runs before the dirty looks of the contractors forced us of. Looks like we're not the only ones who have scored the lake this week with the speed guys scoring the lake at dawn and dusk!!

Friday was the day, sunny, windy and Leasowe. Gaskin, Jay and Jon were out, I would of taken some photos but I was having just to much fun. Jay was pulling some cracking forewards and backie attempts though i think he is feeling that his board is holding him back, maybe he should go shoe shinning to raise the funds?

Pulling the Plug

Finally up and running, last session I had was with Brother Gwynn at West K, which to say politly was pants, but then again I had not travelled far unlike some people who were trying to score West K for the last time, before they pull the plug!!

Starter out on Baby Moo and a 4.2 which is honestly an amazing if not the best set up going, this was ok for the lake and one run on the tide then the wind died little by little until you needed a 5.3 and by that time I had enough. Best part of the day was lunch at a little cafe 'french toast' yummy!!!

On Monday I celebrated Shelly's birthday with shelly, strange but true!! Got her a awesome wetsuit so she can come out and play when she's ready but a she's bit busy at the mo!!

And today I managed to score Southend marine lake T dogging, (also were the other type of dogging takes place by the look of the litter). The Southend sucks (too much of a slope and the wind is all over the show) so i'm going to have to find a new turfdogging spot, any suggestions?

On a lighter note i've got good news, it looks like i'm going to have some pictures published in windsurf mag which will be out next month so keep those eyes peeled. Just to help those who are on the other side i've decided to make a low quality online album so if your interested and want the full quality one give me a shout!!

3 Day Weekend

The wind is back and I've been making the most of it and at the same time not trying to break anymore things over the last week i've managed to brake my extension, a laptop hard disk and a UJ, its getting expensive!

On Saturday i headed towards Rhossy with what looked likly to be a awesome forecast and it was for about 2 hours but the fog rolled in and killed the wind, but not a wasted journey as i managed to get Shelly her birthday present!!

On sunday the plan was to head for Leasowe to score some first class jumping but the wind decided not to play the game so i headed towards West Kirby for a 4.2m attempted freestyle sess. It was bloody freezing and super busy i guess everyone was there to have their last sail before it closed. 

Monday i managed to score the best session of the weekend 4.7 baby moo with good ramps and sun seemed like a spring had arrived. So 3 days 3 places and many people who I haven't seen sailing for ages what a weekend 

Jon had requested the to removal of what he called the  'honey monster shot', which is now gone. For all those people out there who couldn't get enough of the shot, shoot my your email and i'll send the fullsize file for your pleasure!!

Dead

Just though i'll give an update of whats going down, and it isn't good my Macbook has died will all photos and my uni work on it, gutted!!!! so i'll try and get some updates but its going to be hard. Hoping that i'm not going to have to use my Sail fund to buy a new one 

but good news is that the weather is turning windy adn this weekend looks epic!!! perfect for ' 'baby moo'
