Not only was Lewis in the winning Amateur team (with brothers Rob & Duncan Sheldon) but he also had the balls (read: Stupidity) to venture out on 'Big Friday' at the other end of the beach along with the likes of UKs keenest windsurfer Steve Thorpe. Lewis reckons they were the biggest waves he's ever sailed in the UK - "mast and a quarter plus"!
A quick sample pic of Lewis from later in the comp:
From all reports it was an truly awesome event - check out Alfie's Day1 video on Boardseeker, with more footage to come.
PS
Back to local sessions:
Unfortunately I missed big-n-clean cross-off Broadhaven in the SE, but managed to score a really fun cross-on shore sail @ Amroth (as the wind turned more SW) with Paul.
OK, so we didn't get a lot of wind (5.2m) but did manage to catch some of that giant swell that was hammering Cornwall - providing a much better than expected session in pretty easy-going, but still sizable (head high) waves.
Oh, and as usual - the Mistral Twinny 84 just keeps on giving - it really is so good in these kinda conditions...its like having a down-the-line autopilot!
