How was Safety bay on Sunday?

Went to Hampton of all places and had a few fun runs..... but turned out to be too costly......

That's how it goes sometimes.....

Went to Safety Beach around lunch time on Saturday. Got there, rigged up and found I had left my wetsuit at home. A few offers from others to lend me a suit which was great and much appreciated. Took up Bondy's offer as he seems about my size and wouldnt take no for an answer. In the end I rigged too small, a 5.2 - 5.5m would have been ideal I think. Was good fun in the gusts though.

What did you break Kurt?

The nose on Jez's board

His rig didn't look right, so gave it a go to see what needed to be changed......harness lines were far back.... as soon as I got into the straps and hooked in I was launched straight over....

He was good about it though..... sorry Jez

Dude, I told you not to worry about it, I feel horrible about you repairing it off you own back especially since you were helping me out at the time.

I think I may need to break the nose of your board and get it repaired to return the favour. :P
