What is more surprising is that despite the E (offshore) light winds that have been forecast, at Fresh and Newgale the local wind has been stronger, and more SE / ESE...ideal DTL!
Unfortunately ive been busy / away, but Lewis has been "pigging out" in Fresh on Sun, Mon, and Tues...and Neil got in again in Newgale - despite not a flutter in my garden a few miles in land.
OK - its been light float n ride stuff....but this IMO can provide THE best rides you can get in the UK beachbreaks, with smoooooth glassy waves.
I got out Saturday 24th @ Newgale....wangled it that depsite being busy with school / family stuff in the morning, we went in the van (which happened to be loaded with kit, haha) so was able to drop into Newgale for a picnic lunch with Mrs Northy,kids and Flora (puppy) in tow - Team Northy in full effect!!!
To be honest i sailed like a muppet in conditions that i found hard - port tack, light non planing, with largish sets rolling in, and dumpy low tide shore break. Neil, Alfie, Ping, and Lewis also in - with Lewis and Alfie being waaaaay standout.
Neil took a couple of snaps from the car park before he left:
Alfie
Me
woah - I did not want to see those pics! That really does look special. If that is your duffer impression what are you doing when you are ripping...? Looks like a nice turn to me...
