R.I.P Extension :(

Hey,
Well i managed to get out on sunday, got down to the beach with about 2 knots to 10 knots offshore shifty gusty madness with a strong tide.
At least it was sunny. And hot. For the second sunday in the row, managed to get in the rashie, hoping that it will heat up again for this weekend :)
but the sail was ruined by my extension breaking on the beach, and me and dad crawling around for a tiny rock shaped and coloured piece of plastic, with no avail, so had best sort that one out...
Anyway, now have to deal with heaps of homework, coursework and sorting out the big old finance issue.....
keep on shredding...

Sunday 22 March 2009

and just to make summer seem closer.......

hey guys,
well last weekend I had a brilliant training weekend up at Datchet in London.
Saturday was a nice sunny day, pretty gusty and shifty but really nice and good plaining conditions to get back out training in. Had some brilliant sessions on mark rounding and upwind, and genuinely felt improvement through the day.
Sunday big big news.......


I WAS JUST WEARING A RASHIE

well on top, wetsuit rolled down...
but we all know this means one thing.
S-U-M-M-E-R
yay
sunday was very light, we worked on starts and racked up some hours on the water, with some brilliant races, awesome battle with Connor in the last race :)
the weekend before was slightly dramatic, two plaining days at Hythe. Both sunny and warm and good techno and shortboarding on the saturday, first time this year :S
Sunday was slightly more dramatic, wind howling and completely stacked on 4.7 flare nailing some huge jumps out with stu, unfortunately he had a bit of trouble and so the session finished with an eventful little rescue mission....
still looks brilliant and not a cloud in the sky at the moment, wind looks dead but need to work on lightwind downwind as always....
will attach some piccies next time :)
keep ripping, Tom
