Decided to give today a skip, with only a 4.2 and 90l freestyle board I think it may have been a good idea! Oisin Van Gelderan told me he would have liked to have been on a 3.0. Tomorrow looks a bit more managable so hopefully the waves will still be there.

Here are some pictures of Howth Pier today, looks like the sea gulls were having good fun.

Low Rock

Had a pretty good session at Low Rock today. It was pretty onshore but it was still fun. I only had a freestyle fin which made everything a little bit harder as I kept spinning out but it was good. Bit chilly but a lot of people were out which was good fun. Hopefully will be sailing at Rush or Skerries tomorrow, and I'll be bringing my thermals!!

Here is a picture that I have edited the life out of:)

Wind?!?!

We headed to Dollymount on Stephen's day. Unfortunately the wind decided to take a Christmas break and didnt show up. I headed out in hope there would be some. It was a bit of fun in 3 foot waves and doing lightwind freestyle. As Lewis went in a squal came over and the wind was pretty good. Unfortunately there was only a few waves to jump off and tried a frontloop. I think i need to prepare earlier for them, as i am only moving my backhand back as I am going up the wave. Should have plenty of time and waves to try them during this week:)
I also headed to the estuary yesterday. As I was getting my gear I looked at the Burrow beach and it was super windy. I decided to only take my 4.2 and JP freestyle. When I arrived everyone was gone aswell as the wind. I still went out for a chilly lightwind session which was good fun.
The Burrow should be going off for waves and speed sailing on tuesday wednesday and thursday, low tide is at 3:10 on tuesday so should have a good day!

Woooo!!

Burrow

Had a good day at the Burrow. It was super cold with ice covering the sand but it was pretty good wind. I was out on my 4.2 Blade and Lewis on his 4.7. It was pretty chilly and Lewis didnt last long without gloves. They're a pain to wear but at least it means you can stay out when its like that.
Anyways was trying some vulcans and would have liked to have done some front loops but the chop was crap and throwing yourself into brain freeze water isnt exactly enjoyable! Hopefully will get out more this week as weve got some holidays.

Dollymount

We headed to Dollymount today. I rigged up my new Severne Blade 4.2 and Lewis rigged up his 4.7 loft. It was class down the line conditions but out back was super choppy and the shorebreak was pretty tough to get over with it being so gusty. I was pretty stacked on my 4.2 and 62l acid. Lewis was quite overpowered and didnt head out much. I didnt stay out too long either and headed in at around 2 as it was freezing! Was great to be out in some waves with everyone.

Here are some pictures of the nice sunny day

Definition of Overpowered

We haven't been out on the water in a while. I've been out with a broken nose and Lewis sold his Kombat. We headed out on Sunday at the Burrow Beach for some NE Starboard tack cross onshore, but as soon as we hit the water I was just blown back off. I couldn't sheet in at all. Lewis was pretty much the same. Can't wait for our Quads and Blades to come in so we can it these storms. JK and Oisin Van Gelderan went out for some speedsailing and got over 40kts everything. Looks like the Burrow is the place to be!
