Unreal. Proud of you being out there Mel. Is there an island nearby?
Thanks Casso, Phil,
It actually wasn't all that hard to paddle out, there was just one wide-ranger set came through at an inopportune time. I didn't think I would get over it: I felt like I was paddling uphill for ages before I went flying into the air off the top. All I could think is "please let me come down on top of the board still, and please let me stay on in case there is another one behind this one!". I stayed on, stayed standing & paddled my guts out once I landed!!!!!!!
Once I had experienced the wide one once, I knew how far over to sit to be out of the way. Jason got heaps of good waves but it was hard to watch as I really had to keep an eye on what was coming my way and once he was past me, I was lucky to be able to see the top of his head occasionally!
I only caught one wave, that was a nice little one back to the beach! and yes that is an island you can see in the background, so it was quite a nice long ride in.
