It's been a while since my last update, things have just been very hectic! after the UK spring events i've been home working and sailing, saving some money and trying to make the most of the wind and waves we've been getting. It's been pretty good sailing up in North Wales and its definitely made me feel more comfortable here in GC now.
Table Forward (pic JC/pwa)
The heats kicked off in some pretty solid conditions, 4.0 full power! with some decent swell too, probably up in the head to logo high department.
I had a tough first heat against local ripper Jose Romero, He's only about 16 but he's flipping good! he beat me last year so it was sweet revenge this time round, i actually sailed a pretty decent heat for once, i think it helps when the conditions are good.
Tweaked Pushy (JC/pwa)
My second heat was much harder, after last years cock ups at events the seeding suddenly gets a lot harder, i was up against Ricardo Campello, again i had a reasonable heat with some good waves, a nice 1handed backloop and this tweaked pushy. I needed a third jump and a small jump was never going to be enough to beat monkey so i had to stick the double forward. I tried two but they weren't as good as Ricardos that's for sure!
Now it's a waiting game as they finish the single elimination and i can start thinking about how i'm going to work my way up through the double elimination and fight back into it!
