Lots and lots of sweet air!

The wind did pick up on Tuesday afternoon, quite a bit stronger than the day before. I hired some slightly smaller kit from Werner, a 5.5m sail and a 107 litre Starboard Kombat. Ideally I wanted a 95ish litre board, but once I got it on the water the Kombat didn't feel too big atall, infact with the smaller sail and the not exactly hurricane force winds it turned out to be just right. The waves were a little smaller today so I felt confident enough to go right into the middle of them and hunt for some sweet ramps to take off from. Boy did I find some!! I can probably count on one hand the amount of windsurf sessions I've had where I've done quite so many big jumps, with fingers to spare! The waves were presenting themselves to me at anything from waist to shoulder height, nice and steep, perfect for boosting high into the air! I landed a lot of big jumps quite nicely and sailed away, but many felt so high I had to land tail first and waterstart away. Perhaps with smaller, lighter kit and a bit more wind I could have done some even bigger jumps and maybe would have felt more confident to throw myself into some forward or back loops, but as it was I was more than happy just getting lots and lots of sweet air! It was a very good windsurf and it left me feeling super stoked. Ever since I was 18 I've had a tradition that I have never wavered from. When you have an awesome session on the water, you have to follow it up with a few beers.....
