Big wind! Big waves! Big crowd of wings (20ish)! With a sprinkle or 2 of windfoilers. Happy Turkey Day all. 12:30 start, rigged the 5.5m and lasted 2 reaches before scampering back to the beach for the 3.6m. That made things much more comfortable, but it was still hairy with all the crap in the water everywhere. Hardly any reaches without a kelp, wood, or eelgrass induced dismount, and that on top of my rusty nuking skills. When was the last blow with waves like that? Took the predicted 2pm lull break, then got sucked into rigging the 5.5m again, and again lasted 2 reaches before scampering back to the beach for the 3.6m. More of the same, big wave drop-ins and flag rides usually ending in surprise kelp attacks. Still a lot of fun and lots of grins on faces.
