so hope ful i will be able to get out on the water this week end and try them out :)

so this weekend i went up to south west wales for the BWA Welsh competition The forecast was looking really good so everyone was really up for it when we got up in the morning there was about 10 mph of wind and a 4 foot mush swell and bang on shore. we went to breathing
at half 8 and they said when the tide drops the waves will get better and the wind should be picking up and said they are going to do an expression session to see what everyone can do. I went out on my 5.7 and 105lit and dident get planing so just tricked around really and then after the expression they call it off untill 12 and by then the wind had drop even more so me and tom Bennett went out for a surf and got a couple of nice waves and then dad come out and joined us and after that we pack everything up and we went around to new gale for another surf. me and tom went out and we spent a couple of hour packing so it was a bit rubbish but still nice to get out there. The next day there was no wind but a bit of swell left so we had a little prize giving at at the cafe and i ended up winning the amateurs and won a harness so was pretty happy and then after that we went back round to new gale and had a good surf they are going to hold the event again on the next good forecast so hope full i can make that too. and that fro jim from pura vida and buck and luise

so i have been down to conwall for the BWA wave computition at gwithans and we had some amazing condition. so i went down there with chris from http://www.sxwatersports.co.uk/ and nathan come down the next day. on the first day we sailed it was like mast hight to mast and a half i was on a 3.7 and 68lit and chris was on a 4.2 we whach steve thope for a while and he was sailing amazing caching some massive waves and getting some big airels. we hated to wait for a bit for the tid to go out so we could rig up and it was one of the best sails i have had this year and i had a couple of good swims and the after a couple of hour the wiind went on shor and drop a bit so we pack up and went down to the bluff and by the time we gt on the water there there was no wind. the next day was the first day of compution and there went much wind but the waves were there still but quit a bit smaller but it was pretty clean i was on a 5m and my 84lit it was the first day of compution for the youth and master and the ladies and amerter and i was in the youth so i was in the first heat and because the went lods of youth there was only 1 heat for us and then we could free sali for the rest of the day. after sailing most of the day the wind started to drop of so i went out for a surf it was pretty good i went out with nathan and duncan comes son jack who was 10 and was caching some pretty big waves and ripping them up so that was cool to see. the next day was prize giving and i end up winning the youth over all this year with gorge from the island of weight coming secon so were had a great time this weekend and had some great condition.

So yesterday we went down to great yarmouth.. On the way down we stopped for petrol when we was half way there and as dad went in to pay for the petrol he realised he forgot the wallet and left it sitting beside his bed at home so he haveted to call mum and get her to pay over the phone so clever daddy gave all his card detials out to the whole of great yarmouth nice one..so once we had sorted the 1st dilema out of the day we got back in the car and continued realising that we had no money to get food or anything all day exept one pound! so we carried on driving for a while then checked out scratby it was looking well good when we 1st got down there but lex+dad wanted to go check out californias first but it wasent looking that great there so we headed back to scratby and took max for a walk and all decided that it wasent looking great and was all freezing and starving so as we went back to the car a rossis ice cream van decided to park itself next to us,tempting! haha! we carried on driving round trying to find surf, we went to check out a windsurfing break (without any kit!) and i fell off the wall into dogs poo, Nice one Megan! so we decided to start heading back through the strange dead end roads, then we finally found a cool spot called Lowersoft, by this time it was about 5 o clock, so we was all getting very hungry by now and just our luck there was a KFC+fish and chips to the left of us and two the right we had a MC DONALDS so we had amazing smeelllss heading our wayyy! but we all decided to go get wet considering dad drove around for about 5 houres (mise as well gone scotland or somewhere!!) i got freezing within the 1st 10 minss so i got out and took pictures of the boys instead! Turns out the boys said it was one of the best surfs they've had in our part of the country so the day ended on a high note after all! so we all rushed home to a nice roast dinner 'NOICEEEE'!

Dad went out for a lightwind sail today and at the end maxy swam out and climbed up on the board so we started to push him in on some tiny waves haha he loved it kept going back for more!

so went down to st mary bay today with megan dad and chris and mike from http://www.sxwatersports.co.uk/ and sam and pete darkink. so when we first got down there it was raining and there was no wind and no waves so we wated there for about half an hour and the sun came out and the wind started to kick in so i went out on a 5m and 105 and then after a while it got to much for that so i put the 84 lit on and that was a lot better everyone was ripping and the the wind was there and the waves were there so it turned out to be a pretty good day.
