For once, a photoless post.
The thing is that today I sailed 4 hours straigth and couldn't be bothered to take photos... it was just too much fun out there! And yesterday too!!
After the two weeks ago great start of the season with those five days of wave sailing in a row, it seems that the continuation is not too shabby either.
What I liked about the first swell, was the size: perfect up to head high not too dangerous.
This other north one, instead, is up to logo high in the big sets and there have been plenty people on the rocks. I went very close a couple of times. Actually my board did go after disconnecting from the sail under a big wave.
I was suprised how easy it was to swim back to shore with the sail... got to know how the current works!
But what I like about this swell is the consistency of the waves. I'm on the wave with someone else? No problem, I'll leave it to him... there's another wave just 10 seconds behind. And another one behind, and another one behind...
Also, the lack of most pros (competing at Sylt) and the extended time frame of sailability (today I think it was 12 to 5.30), makes for not too crowded conditions... lovely!
The smile of Levi when he got out of the water after a *sick* aerial 360 off the lip, makes me guess he's not missing the North Sea too much...
WAIT!!!!!!
I swear I had completely forgot about that photo I took during a quick break. Let me go get the camera... hang on you guys, I think it's worth it.
Here we go. How's that as a shot from the car? I just wanted to take a sip of water... from the moment I saw it to when I pushed the button it was a nanosecond!
