Sunday Sessions...

Morning dawned calm, cold and with a funky swell, a heck of a lot more than the forecasted 3ft @14s, followed by an epic evening sun filled glass off.

Steve (aka the goofy superstar) joined me for both high and low tide sessions. Here he is looking in anticipation for whats coming next.
The sun may have went down but the waves kept on coming
Last orders...

In a week when I felt I had largely missed out on waves today more than made up for it. Two super sessions, the first this morning on the push in funky/choppy waves a lot bigger than expected, (Must’ve been more than just a bit of northerly in the swell!) and again this evening on the drop but really clean, sunny, glassy and one of the better sessions I’ve had in a while. Seems that lately it’s been all about having your finger on the pulse, the onshores forecasted for all last week didn’t show and from the charts today wasn’t worth leaving the house for. Damn glad I did though…

There she goes...

Maria headed off to Scotland yesterday to take a job as a pre-reg optometrist for at least a couple of years. Better get booking those flights now then...
Grabbed an afternoon session for a couple of hours after saying our goodbyes.The session started quite frustrating again but found my way with a couple of fishy, fast, fun rights.
Rolled on home to Derry for a couple of hours before heading back up the road to catch a few before dark with the lads. The chest/waist high sets however had turned to ankle slappers but with a bit of endeavor and alot of walking we found some fun lefts on the pushing tide. Left the water round 11, finally got to me bed about 1.30 and was up at 6 am again for work. mmm tasty...
