Yeah, right!
Do you still believe in Santa?

Just had a quickie one at Ellesmere, 7m nicely powered, so as to say the wind didn't blow in vain, but not the best session ever.

OK, so now, stop the bullshit and bring on the easterlies and the swell!

Amen brother!

Top of my christmas wish list is 20knot NE and overhead waves at Brighton!

PS - Cold weather has meant long days in workshop BUT is a pain for getting resins cured...

Nop, I've lost all my faith!
No 20 knots, no 15knots, just a crappy 12kts with a 7C outside temp... :cry: :cry: :cry:

So summer is there , bring on the gloves and hoods... this Santa is just a red fat bastard!

still fingercrossed for the early morning session, if there can be a second chance...

I'd be hard pressed to call that grovel of session we just had Alex 12 knots - barely pushing 10 more like.

Nico the light arse was doing well on his surfboard tho...

Bugger it all - I'm off to work to drop a kite cat hull out of the mould - tempted to make one for me shortly - at least they make 10 knots look well powered!

I think I took the best of this Northeast 20 knots scam.

But I had to brave the cold rain, and to gather all my brain cells to extract me from my warm sweet bed at 6:10AM, jump in my wetsuits, gulp a couple of bananas and go riding. The reward was there though, with almost 20kts some nice messy waves and some angle from the right.
Now I'm all tired behind my PC... all but efficient...

It's amazing what we have to do to get some decent sessions...

buoyweather says (up north) easterly sunday morning at 6am
1 knot for an hour or so - bring it on - then back to the west... looks like it is almost taking the piss
