Awesome Weekend

With these high pressures sitting over the UK resulting in no waves and no wind, it means it's SUP cruising time.

On Saturday me Shelly and Stu did 9.5 miles on the SUP shelly's still feeling the pain. It was awesome to cruse up the river having a look at all the sights same it was slightly raining but you can't have it all.


Cruising up the River Dee

On the way back Stu and decide to hit a rope swing we had spotted on the way up, found a new way to get onto the SUP's check out the video!!!

Running on Water

After Saturday and another forecast of zero wind it was time to go around Hilbre. I've done this a couple of times before on windsurf longboard and a open top kayak but this was the first time doing in on the SUP. You could really feel the effects of the the tide on the way up to Hilbre but with the seals ushering us on to the tip of the island where it always getting choppy when the tidal streams on the Mersey and the Dee meet which made for some interesting paddling.

On Monday I decide to head to Rhossy for to top of the weekend actives and to test out my new sails. Started of on my 4.7 but there where most no/tiny waves due to the super high tide, but as the tide dropped the wind picked up (onto my 4.2) and it turned into classic Rhossy. The my New Simmer 2010 icons rock paired with my moo twin i was all over the wave face hahaha, nice having some sails which go dead.

It's been crazy windy and perfect weather for testing out my new sails simmer icons and so for the rock!! (may do a mini review in a while)

Thursday saw 35kts+ knots from the west, turned into a bit of a survival contest rather than windsurfing. I started of in the bay which I've never really bothered with always waiting for the beach ahead of the carpark. It's awesome longer bigger and meatier waves than infront of the carpark.

Friday I hit west kirby the wind had dropped slightly and some good ramps where about turned into bit of a loop fest, stu was pulling of some super forwards, inspiration!! but just a bit two over powered!

Commiserations to Max who managed to snap and mast and put a hole through his sail, hope he doesn't do the dirty to his new Moo Custom, it looks sweet as!!
