4257 days ago Was over the speed gear after yesterday's combat! Resisted JJ's call for a road trip. No GPS
Went to Dutchies to see Jonah supping in to some nice waves. Wind was Southerly and very patchy. When he came in saying that there was enough in the gusts it was time to rig my new (2nd hand Severne S1 5.9) and take it for a spin.
Wind built and for a period there was consistent swell (at Dutchies!!???) and great cross shore wave riding to be had.
Awesome to watch Graham Woods punching out loops in both directions landed dry and sweet tweaked aerials!
Best ever wave riding session at Dutchies for me! A number of waves with three turns. and only 4/5 sailors out for most of the time!
So much easier to get in the right place with speed in the cross shore conditions. Even had a full free fall off the lip top turn and can see where the aerial happens even if I am not that sure what to do when i get there?.
Awesome wavy goodness!!!!! That's better!
Severne S1 2010 was really light in the hands and not too big to work with the board and makani weed twins. Love the big window which makes trying to spot the wave downwind much easier.
Certainly haven't reached the limits of this board it keeps rewarding my efforts.

Well done JJ, and Snakey!!!
