Wow, that was EPIC! I mean epically the worst wing session I've ever had! OMFG!! First mistake was launching at Centennial!!! I think the sandbars have gotten bigger. :o I just could not get out through the chop, which was actually big! It seemed that between waves the water was getting sucked out and my foil kept bottoming out. Finally I got out and then the real fun started. Between my 5M booties, my gloves and my slippery as @#$K wetsuit, I could barely get up on the board. It didn't help that I rigged for the 30 knots and it dropped to a really gusty and holey 20 and switched back to an Easterly. :evil: Plus the waves were now coming from 3 different directions! There was actually some fairly large south swell but when the wind switch it turned into a messy washing machine, with an added wave reflecting off the shore because of the high tide, which seemed to suck my foil and board underwater. On the plus side there were about 10 minutes where you could blast straight into the nice south swell and get some good jumps, in my case crashes, but hey that was the most fun of the day!! The blinding blizzard at the end was literally the icing on the cake. As you can tell the lack of wind is making me crazy!
