Rest Needed! Enjoying all the Sun....

30^th Quality Point like Rights

Feeling the pain but still buzzing from yesterdays surf getting up is hurting, as we cycled to VVF we could feel the warm on shore winds in our faces, the string was banging hard against the flag post and we didn’t need a strong reason to turn around and peddle back to bed. Andy had a terrible night, he felt sick with headaches and shivers, he thinks he had too much sun although it could have been general run down tiredness.

I spent the day surfing with the kids at Sports, I have some great shots of Imogen standing on some white water waves which will be uploaded soon, You hardly need any swell to get the kids going. By the afternoon I was getting itchy for a surf so I persuaded Andy to try a late afternoon session, although he wasn’t too keen thinking the tides would be wrong and wind strong.

 Surf 12 Delight in the Right

Mounting the top of the dune at VVF a wonderful sight greeted us, long ride-able and clean high tide right handers were chundering across the beach, the swell had grown since earlier and the wind had dropped, it must have been a solid 4ft and with nobody out on the spot we chose we had plenty of quality ‘yellow’ like waves. Happy days, maybe afternoon surfs weren’t such a bad idea after all, and it appears that VVF was at all tides….. woobillyhoobilly!!

31^st Last Day of July

Surf 13 The Pain.

I hurt in places I didn’t know I could hurt! Getting up this morning had never felt this hard, I didn’t get to bed until long after midnight and my muscles were starting to rebel against my mind. The long long slow cycle to the beach did little to warm me up and although 3/4ft of punchy slightly messed up waves were fun at times I think a rest is now needed! Luckily the out look for tomorrow is for dropping swell, Magic Seaweed have 1ft predicted for the morning and although I know I could find a wave especially as off shore glassy conditions are virtually guaranteed I think the time has come to rest!

We spent the day escaping the heat and the afternoon walking through the old Capbreton Town. St Jean De Luz tomorrow and sleep!
