The trusty M5 was closed around J20 something (as it was on the way home as well), thanks to some plebs being dicks - hey ho...
It's clear that school holidays have started - everywhere was rammed. The usual 50 fifty people painfully trying to catch a wave and busy car parks. Check out this pic taken by Finshack...
Friday saw what was my best wave ever! Long, clean, stable, comfortable, the list goes one. Everything about it was just nice. The build up, the take off and the ride. I was sure I could have gone for a comfortable nose ride, but the wave was too good to potentially spoil. I held it in there and flew gracefully off the back, feeling all smug :)
Saturday and Sunday, as expected, was busy as hell. So on Saturday we dilled around a bit and had a superb ice-cream at Mr B's. Banoffee pie and wild cherry ripple for me thanks :) The waves weren't happening so Sunday was the next session. As per usual, the crowds and kids start heading home when it's foody time, so we donned the suits (wishing I'd brought the boardies and vest - was well hot!) and went in. The tide was quite high, so it was a bit rough. Nic went in for the first time since her op! She struggled a bit, but that was more the conditions than anything. Next time ;)
Unfortunately my granddad died on Thursday night :'( So I felt it apt to dedicate my best wave to date to him :)
