Newquay 09 I

Cold Cold Cold, I dont remember the sea being this damn cold.

drove down to Newquay yesterday morning cause the reports looked good, and I needed a new 3/2 summer suit, and to try and deal with the broken fin on my fish...More on that later I can assure you. Failed in the pursuit of a wetsuit, althhough |I came close to buying a Psycho 2 winter suit, felt very comfortable. Although I got burned by Oneill in the past its looking like the suit of choice. Fuck paying full whack, now I know which size fits I'm holding out for one on ebay.

Surfed watergate twice. Yesterday was absoloutely cranking. About 5/6ft and offshore and hollow. Fricking cold though. Bought a hood, struggled to get out back but loved it when i was there. Rolling a longboard under those cold waves hit me hard, but I survived and hada good session. The offshore wind made everything slowdown. Obviously the breaking of the wave, but also the take off. What with the dull noise caused by the hood it was a very strange session, but I got a couple of sweet rides. The last being the best a prefectly peeling right.

This afternoon wasnt so good, but the sun was shing and was a beatiful day. We just went out last night and had a slow start to the day. So we went in at the wrong time. probably should have surfed Fistral with the crowds. Really dropped off as it reached low tide, got a nice ride at the end, carving down the line until all of a sudden all the water below me was sucked off the bottom and it became a total shore dump. with me in the middle. quite strange.

Stayed at the usual place - Steve and marks b&b along with KAte, Amy and Paul. Great time was had, bit too short tho for the 500 odd mile roundtrip.
