Surfing Waves

really wanted to make it down but there was no way i was under the limit to drive from yesterdays drinking binge

K-bay was death on a big sh*tty stick

It was way overhead and closing out and the reefs were jacking up, then closing out in a hold-down special

Ive got some photos which I'll deal with later and post-up.

Basically unsurfable - there were some windsurfers out there having a fantastic time at about a thousand mph, but surfing wasnt going to happen and there was NO-ONE out

Fantastic place though - I look forward to doing it on a clean day (week day - I can see how crowded it'll get at the weekend) and now Ive seen it properly, I'll be better at predicting it

Bit of a wasted day really, but those are the risks....

cool dont feel so bad for not turning up now, was the bay not working then? normally if its to big on the ledges the bay works ok

Bournemouth was really wortht the trip. 3-4 foot and clean.
Great fun!

Yeah, I'd considered bournemouth but PHIL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE COMING TO K-BAY SO I WENT THERE!!!

Then I considered going from k-bay to bournemouth, but my heart wasnt in it anymore and the pub was calling me


K-bay really wasnt working - here's a pic straight out in front of the bay (which, inevitably, doesnt really show the size)



Ledges and bench were huge but a mess, and the bay itself was a bit better but the power was being sucked out by breaking further out so they didnt hold any shape or momentum

Cheat.

How windy was it down there?

Howling onshore gale.


That was the problem - I knew it'd be windy, but I knew it'd be dropping, but it was a gamble whether it dropped in time/enough to make it surfable. It didnt....
