Well - after over a year off the blog, im gonna try and restart!
Why? Mainly because my windsurfing 'mojo' has returned and i feel fully stoked to be back on with "all things windsurfing" (caveat - work and family life allowing).
Newgale
Sunday 18th March saw six of us Pembs locals @ Newgale to be treated with cross off winds, super clean swell, sunshine and DTL perfection.
OK - so it wasn't as big as we would have all liked (typically waist and then maybe shoulder / head high in the bigger sets) but it was a great fun size for super easy riding and getting stuck in.
In fact I'm not sure Ive ever caught so many DTL rides in a single day...great practice for the "weekend warrior".
One thing i need to work on is controlling the top turn better, so that i can directly determine a slide v gouge...twins love to slide!
All in all - a great day; lots of smiling faces, and i spent 4 hrs on the water in the sunshine, so no complaints.
"Quite whackable" was Lewis Merrony's summation - far more eloquent than my long winded ramblings!
GoPro
I am also going to try and use my GoPro more this year (i couldn't really use it any less if i tried) - but on this occasion the battery wasn't charged enough so no good - Duh!
However Newgale regular Neil did catch this ride - ok so the wave looks invisibly small - but i can assure you there were decent, long waves that day.....honest guv!

Thanks!
Nice post. Shame I missed it. Would love to catch up with you again soon too (was in a dreaded Skype meeting when you called that evening).
