How did you find catching them? I know that when I try in over 10knotts I often struggle to get on and will get blown off waves. It looks like you didn't have too much trouble.
I mustn't have the fitness but I've got a full set of hair - Yeah Yeah.
yeah yeah.....you know ive got none Olie... & that helps.....less hair resistance in the wind!
In real windy stuff its more a matter of placing yourself in the way of the wave & do a late take off, forward motion is impossible, particularly with a short sucker of a board.
The wind up the face keeps the wave vertical for much longer than normal so you dont have to be quite so critical with positioning, crouch low to reduce windage, a couple of deep strokes......& hope you get down the wave before the lip.....lips tend to get heaps thicker in a strong off shore
And they can really mess your hair up Olie...Yeah Yeah
