Awesome wave, His boarding was bouncing around all over the show through the bottom turn, must make you quite uneasy
nice line up and wave surfing in 10-12 knots? plenty of rocks on the inside to encourage you complete your turns
Interesting, according to a recent thread we can't get on a waveboard until 20kn - clueless kiters
That was about 12-15kn at most and the most awesome wave riding, glassy as, best you could ever hope for
- Grovel out the channel (not that there is much at Cape Verde)
- Timing
- Skill
- Taking a few on the head now and then
Reckon by the red thumbs there are a few people here who have not sailed light cross off. I never said it was the best alround session, just the best riding.
Conditions like that are magic - not if you get it every day, sometimes you want to plane lol, but to sail cross off with barely enough wind to get out, and a long peeling wave, is insanely good.
almost all my wave sailing is done in these type of conditions.I usually just jump of the rocks into the channel with my gear and swim to the wind line. There's a few spots where i do this another trick is to swim out from an up wind protected spot and sail downwind to the wave spot. nothing better than a perfect clean face.
Jimmy Wind, I thought I would just remind you. You live on the Central Coast of NSW, not NW Africa. I highly doubt your claim.
i find the best way to deal with big surf and light winds is get belted and spend an hour swimming for your gear then give up come home and post how good it was on seabreeze and that everyone missed out.
Haha, I reckon that is Toowoon Bay. One photo does not convince me of what you said. I've been there enough to know it is a pretty crap wave, nothing like you see in the video.
almost all my wave sailing is done after necking half a dozen stubbies.
I call it warming up
rule one make sure no one was around before talking it up ^^
actually was pretty good between 12 and 2, yeah it was about as light as you can sail without a sup.
lately cronulla has produced some really good wave riding days, proper banks with clean DTL waves.
Also, Your Mum thinks I'm a good wavesailor!
Wanda has been going of the last fews weeks....
Go get em Jimmy!
I know what you were on about with your post. You are right. Peto and Nutbag should READ before making comments.
Awesome vid and wave, hats off to anyone out there in subplaning conditions and over 3/4 mast, committment and the expectant swim is all part of the fun
I certainly read the post, no worries there. I've done Toowoon Bay too many times in hope of scoring something decent. So Jimmy, your challenge will remain open for a long time as I prefer to sail cross-on than be continually dissapointed at that lame joint. It's occassionally ok for a jump. Oh but I don't ever venture out the back... That would be too hardcore.
