Started off a good day with gusty 12-20 knots out the back but a bit light in near the beach. Had about 44 Nm up late arvo so decided to go for the 100 k's.
Borrowed Firies Futura 111 so I could get through the light wind in close. Once I was past that it was still blowing 15-20 out the back so got the distance up fairly quick and headed back to the beach just after the sun had gone down behind the hills.
Got to within a few hundred meters of the shark net before the wind dropped to nothing. Managed to bob around on the board for about five minutes before I lost my balance in the Yorkies chop. Time to start swimming. Spent about an hour swimming past the shark net until I reached the ropes for the stinger net and dragged my way along the ropes to the beach.
Thanks to Firie, Rowdy and everyone else that were looking for me.
I did learn something today, always borrow someone elses board if the wind is a bit doubtful and stay close to the board. That way they won't go home until they get there board back.
Must owe you a carton Firie.
