A Not So Windy Weekend

Jump Sequence 4

Jump Sequence 1

Woke up this morning to the sound of wind in the trees and the roar of a 14 second period swell rolling into the beach with the thought of another days sailing down at the old stumping grounds. Made myself a coffee and a bowl of porridge, then let the cat out ,then back in, and out again. Grabbed my wet suit and sneaked out the house with out waking Jen and headed off to meet the gang.

With a promising forecast that never quite delivered I headed down to Vaz for some mellow jumping action. By ten we were already rigged and heading out in logo high sets. The morning started well, stacked on a 4.7.But by twelve the varying wind was becoming annoying. Later in the session I saw hutchy bottom turn into a logo high breaking monster that spat him clean out the lip, and then slapped him hard. The wave then swallows him up in two or three metres of exploding foam, with the equivalent of an Olympic size swimming pool of water landing on his head.I laughed to myself knowing that under all that white water that he would be grinning from ear to ear. A couple of seconds later he popped out the washing machines fast spin rinse cycle with a big cheesie grin on his face as he then had to take a long swim back to the beach chasing his kit, that was still remarkable in one piece . Called it a day around one totally broken.
