Since I have come back from South Africa we have had quite a bit of Good Windsurfing and lots of very good surf !
These are pictures from some of the sessions we have had since SA.
The first windsurfing session Dad and I had at home after our holiday was an epic windsurf at Gowlane, Pretty windy 4,2 Cross off ! The waves were epic ! Small swell with quite a lot of Seconds on the period produced mast high waves, Sadly we didn't take many photos as we were enjoying ourselves too much ! But here are some of the few we have
These pictures are of me surfing,
This was one of the many days this winter of massive swells, So i decided to go and find some more sheltered waves, I went exploring looking for something that was worthy surfing, And i was luckily enough to find this new wave and surf it for the first time ! It was a heavy beach brake all to my self mwhah ;)
I must Praise my new Wetsuit ! I got myself a Matuse 5/4 hooded winter suit (www.jamieknox.com ) which I must say is the best suit I have ever had ! I use it whenever I go surfing now. A warm suit in our Cold Irish winters is essential ! It keeps me warm even on the coldest and nastiest days, Quite often i am too hot which is not something to complain about !

Smerick
This day was another one of those days were we had to hide from the elements in Brandon Bay, We went on a day trip to Smerick. It was very windy, I was fully stacked on my 3,3 (Green Sail) and Niall was on his 3,6. It was almost super off shore which made things tricky but we still had fun !

hello
ReplyDeleteWao.Thanks for sharing your lovely experience with us.
ReplyDeleteAround the world, surfing is more of a winter sport than a summer one. The general rule is that we need to prepare for the cold if we want to catch some nice waves. Winter surf sessions are magical because of the combination of the winter sun's brightness with clouds, fog, and reflections, as well as the anticipation and pleasure of being out on the water.I also did same experience in bali last year with Mondo Surf Village.
