Cruising session

We had a good crusing session today at the burrow. I was on my isonic 87 with my 7.4 and MFC SL 38 which I found a really good combo. Ive sold my futura so the isonic is my allround slalom and speed board as it can take as low as a 5.0 for speed and as big as a 7.4 for slalom which is really good. Ryan was on his 7.2 and 101 futura (he currently is selling the futura so email him for details if your interested: ryanoleary832@hotmail.com). I was practicing duck jybes, I got the actual jybe part but unfortunatley did not manage to sail away from one! The wind was about 15 knots averge which was compltetley different to what windguru said but there you go. We've been back at school for a few weeks now so weekends are the only oppertunity to get out so it was well worth it.

Dollymount

Had a sick day at Dollymount today. When I arrived it was super windy and cross shore but when I headed out it had gone side off and the waves were so steep. I was on my 90l freestyle and loft 5.3. They were by far the biggest I've ever been in and getting out back with the gusty conditions was difficult.. But when you were on the way back in it was sick! The waves were around head high and were really clean, and you ould get loads of turns in. I was also trying some table tops and landed one but It was realy gusty and I was well overpowered so didnt try any loops. Here are some pics of the day....
