Nasty Rubbish K

Surf 46/81 4th March


Very strong wind, hellish north west cross off shore, swell disappointingly small and I got charged £5 for the experience! The session was memorable for its shitness. Ok so I had exceptionally over optimistic expectations for this session but after a rubbish week where my business partner randomly decided to stop funding our business, effectively stopping my income, I thought a little shinning light may be a session at K. The predictions were changing almost hourly but that didn't stop me, and even in the face of up to date wave buoy and wind data I still ignored all my instincts and made the long journey over. I had friends from a far who had decided to travel down, I thought at least I would be sociable but I barely managed that, brief barely heard chatting in-between rubbish waves, the howling wind and rubber covered ears made any meaningful conversation impossible and then I gave up, got out and drove home, not before a freezing change. I didn't even see my friends in the car park. I Chatted to Timo, he's got it sorted, as he pulled out a quiver of windsurf boards, surf when it's good, windsurf when it's windy and paddle board the rest of the time. Apparently the other week he got some hassle at K! I've rarely heard of hassle at K? I think Timo won the battle though! 


Last week people were 'mostly' pissing me off, I'm by nature pretty easy going and very friendly and I rarely feel riled or angry or annoyed but sometimes things get to even the most mellow people. Yeah I know I may come across in this blog a bit grumpy at times RE: Christmas Rant! But actually I'm generally quite happy, optimistic and enthusiastic. After a bad week, turning up in the pissing rain in what I still consider to be winter and having to pay £5 to drive down a 400 metre road nearly tipped me! It doesn't rain it pours and it certainly poured on Sunday.
