Thanks to Nebbia, Bertie, Isaac and Rowen for doing the run- for all those elsewhere you missed out on a great day. I strongly recommend doing this awesome bit of water, waves and wind!

So the day i was nervous about, I answered the question " whats the LOC like?"

Nebb's was my buddy and thankyou for waiting for me, and going slow so I could keep up. The others were so quickly out of sight that they arrived in Lancelin with their cars as Ben and I stumbled into the pub looking like drowned rats and the locals started staring.

12-18 kn Southwester on a JP FSW 94 L and NP v8 7.5m with 36 weedy

Things I learnt about the Ledge to Lancelin run:

dont wear a long leg wetsuit as you ride around with one leg filling up- weighing you down.

use waves- plot your course for maximum downwind/go deep and speed

remember the sails angle of attack to the wind- power on, down the wave and sheet in ( apparrent wind forward), out of wave, slowing down, ease sail to get correct angle of attack.

surfing upright stance and speed stance when flatter water

practice sail and board run into the water.

a Wave jump and crash 100 m from the shore will look bad on the news!

play the lulls and keep up speed.

crashing all gybes is common!!

Eat straight after you hit the beach- replace the energy lost!!- I had a carbo shotz energy gel 15 min before the run and should of had one straight afterwards, cos if I had to start partying (LOC style) I would have been asleep in the corner!

It is fun!
