Drift (6257km):
4945 days ago LOCATION: NGLING CLUB
WIND: S-SW- 10-15 GUST TO 20
TIDE: MASSIVE! INCOMING
GEAR: Jp Excite 160, 46 cm SS FIN, DOWN TO CA FR 77- 40 cm c3, KA Koncept 7.3
DETAILS: Intersting session with George, Doug, Rob and Evan.
After providing the freight and logistics for the Buster crew, the wind came through after a rain squall but was suprisingly gusty for a southerly. Most of the runs were off and on- going from dogging it to nearly being overpowered. Shoulder was playing up from an over enthusiastic brownie point gathering session in the garden the day before! The tide was really running and the big gear was rounding up and hard to control, so I came in and changed down the the Carbon Art. Heaps better! The board cut through the chop and wasn't pushed to around as much. Late in the day, and with a tide covering all of the sandstrip, we had a 1-2 foot swell running onto the beach near Screw Creek. The cross shore wind made it great fun to drop in on the wave face then bottom off and pick up the next one. THE CA relished in this stuff and felt really solid. The Koncept was getting a bit back handy at this stage, although I reckon it was lack of strength in the arms rather than the wind being too strong..
