Excellent day, and a good variety of sailing with plenty of chop, rolling swell, plenty of ramps for jumping and some decent blasting on the strip with a decent square and gusty wind. Looks similar tomorrow so should be out again.

Well done mum for sailing today, fantastic skill and commitment during the windiest part of the day.

This winter break has been excellent so far we've had a good variety of conditions in Cornwall. So much better than getting skunked at West kirby a few weeks ago in those joke conditions, don't think I'm gonna bother going there for a long time

Started of quite under powered but wind filled and swang making it difficult for me for speed but had a great sail until the squall hit hmmm 22 knots to 43 in maybe 10 minutes so the wall said! to be honest about 30 seconds caught me out about 800m of the beach and was hanging on to a bouy for a while getting very cold and thinking is this the end? But wind dropped a little and managed to get back into safety felt like sailing with a sail from the 80's getting back.

Great to see the new kid on the block going well great stuff today Tom think you need to sign up will have a word with your uncle Camel later.

Falcon 90

7m Simmer SCR

And Black Project 35 Speed very nice fin loads of control but don't think it lets go as much as the select S11 Slam 35 more time with a better angle will see? 

Also on a last note thanks to my sponser The Matrix............

You need to try the Black Project type R 35cm Swagger..... ;-)

Big board as when I went out the wind had dropped. Was caught out on the way to castle cove in the squall, made it back a bit to the fleet channel as it was flowing out and fell in, took a while to get back to shore. 

See you all tomorrow

A good fun session with very flat water.  Was good to get on the 51 falcon as I haven't used it many times.  The wind wasn't very strong so gave a nice chilled time.

Ha Ha, no worries Swagger.

Like i said in my previous post I was truly fed up after being skunked 3 times in a row at Kirby... I've been doing this sport for years and Simply do not have the time, money, and flexibility in order to really get out as much anymore and if anything my sailing has regressed through no fault of my own. It is Especially frustrating when it seems like so many people these days can just have the day off and sail at Kirby or southend whenever they want. Anyway I will try and continue to post here and contribute towards the team, and I hope to come up for a Portland session soon. Cheers

I was also using it on Sunday though, sometimes you win some, sometimes you lose some ;-)

Fingers crossed I will have a nice shiny new Exocet RS4 to play with at the weekend

Be good to see you here Adam! I still owe you a pint or at least coffee for those articles.
