What a crap weekend for weather cold,wet and windless :( more life February than May !!! That is until 2 today when I got a text from Steve Carter saying he was planing at The Dip with 8.5m.So with my big slalom board up for sale on ebay and not wanting to risk damaging it took a chance with the Xantos and 7.5 which although was slightly under I could get up and going most of the time:) Again beat up into the Deben and played in the waves , it was good to be out in the sunshine with Steve and Swainy even if my hands did go cold :( only down side was I reached out a mile to see an old sailing boat and struggled to get back with the tide running and the wind easing !!!
