Windy weekend

Ok, finally get some computer time in work hours, not that there was much in the way of waves over the last few days. But well go over the events anyway.
Friday afternoon was pretty fun considering! raced from work and ran down to the local.
Got out as the sun was going down and had some fun little beach close outs.
The wind was bloody howling from the north and the rip was sucking straight to the north!
Everywave was a 2second ride, being a half barrel to close out. Where ever hammering got that little extra sand down your back and in your legs hahaha.
So all in all it was a quick uneventful board but we got wet none the less!

Saturday was a bit of the same although i didn't even bother to head anywhere the winds were just too strong and i didn't have much faith in the swell holding up. Then by sunday afternoon the local was almost the flattest i have ever seen it. With extrememly strong off shore winds the swell had all but disappeared into a flat splash of ripples onto the beach. Was a sight to see! Gone were the sound of waves and the beach was empty except for people walking.
But that didn't deter me from jumping into the sea pool and swimming about for a little while not for the excercise but for the fact i have just purchased a reeflex 3/3 Mercury steamer and what better time to test it out than in a super strong wind and cold day. It passed in my books with flying colours, but it will need to withstand the wipeout test :D
