Happy Christmas

So we have had a couple of good waves session and freestyle session. We had one really good jumping session at big bay fully over powed on 4.2 with some nice size waves coming throw which I manage to cut my head open when miss timing a top turn and got the boom in the face haha. We had a good jumping session yeastday on Christmas day it was a bit light and pretty small but still was really good fun and then had a really nice BBQ for dinner. Last thing hope everyone had a really good Xmas.

yeastday I had a really good session at the kiter beach in front of the ship wreck it was like logo hight with the odd mast hight set coming in but it was pretty light. I was really under power on a 4.7 which went so good but when you got on the waves it was good fun.

Right so the last few days we have had some pretty good surf at big bay and some amazing sails at sunsets and big bay, the first session at sun set was the best it was mast hight side off and on 4.7 so was really good fun it was great to see bubble doing some nice aerial of the big waves out the back. from there we had a nought good sail and big bay well powed up on 4.2 for some nice jumping and riding. yeastday we don it all we had a surf in the morning at big bay then a good freestyle session at the lake and then a really good jumping session at sunset we did get out the water till it got dark which was a bit scary because the shark haha. hopeful I will have some pics to come so you can see what the condition have been like.

So we got there on Thursday and had a on shore sail at Gwithian was on 5.3 and a 84lit and try out the k4 fins and really enjoyed them there really grippy and made the board feel even looser on the wave. On the Saturday it was the first day of comp, we started up at Gwithian and there was the biggest fleet of Amateurs i have ever seen at a comp they dident even get through. the first elimination so it was pretty mad hahah but really good fun i mangage to come 2nd with lewis merrony winning and i manage to win the over all year in the amateurs and lewis in 2nd so that means me and lewis have to go up in the the pros next year which should be fun so i better get a hell of a lot of training in hahah. Hopeful i am going Capetown at the end of the month for a couple of month so that should help a lot cant wait for next year let hope we have anought good year of comps again. and thanks to my sponsors for all their help. help http://www.sxwatersports.com/ http://www.simmerstyle.eu/home/Default.aspx

I managed to win the amateurs so was really happy about that because there were so many good guys. thanks to Jim from pura vida for organising the event and everyone else who helped. Cant wait for Cornwal letes hope we get some good condition there.

New Sail

today i try my new 5.3 simmer black tip and it felt great really light and stable and u can controle the power really well cant wait to used it again.

This weekend we went down to shoreham it was 3.7 weather for me and 4.7 weather for everyone else with a small wave board, when we first went out there was a little shore dump but once you was out it was good for freestyle, i had a night mare day on my second run i done a jump and hurt my knee so lacked confidence for the rest of the session so diddn't sail much for the rest of it but aleksy had an alright sail pulling
of some back loops forwards and and went for some shakka attempts so it was a pretty good day.

Monday i sailed the ray i was on a 4.2 and and 105lit freesty

le board it was a pretty good but it was a really big tide so the ray was really small and really shallow but it was really flat so really good for freestyle so had a really good session.

A few pics taken by nathen of a fun day at hells gate in Ireland!

2.5

Megan-

Been out today on a custom made 2.5 sail by Rob Jones at canvey, the sail felt amazing it was so powerful and light, in the gusts i was really overpowered so next time will use the 45l board with it aswell to complete the package! Can't wait for the winter to get some more 2.5 sessions, maybe even smaller?

Right so this summer has been amazing we went to ireland had loads of little road trips and went to Hayling Island :D. So we went to ireland for 2 weeks at the begining of Augest we had 1 day of really good surf on the last day it was like head and a half and pretty clean and i ended up buying a new surfboard so was really happy that i got to used it in really good condition, we had a couple of light off shore wave riding days which was good fun but pretty hard.

When we come back, we had my dads retirement do which was pretty good fun and then this weekend just gone we when to NWF and i ented the freestyle and had a go on tow in windsurfing but i could do any moves off it hahaha o well it was really good fun, then on the sunday the wind kicked in and had the freestyle comp it was really fun but dident mangage to get in to the final but it was really good to whach all the pros doing all the new air fresstyle tricks.

I got to borrow of ben proffit the new 2012 5.6 black tip it felt really nice and light and really power ful and stable and the sails look really good with really cool coulours so was a really good event.

This week look really good with loads of wind and swell so cant wait so think im going to head somwere down the south coast tommorow.

The only way is SX watersports

This weekend we met Fransisco Goya, he was such an amazing, down to earth, funny guy, who was genuinly intrested in meeting everyone and helping everyone out! He even spent about 30minuetes teaching a learner how to water start. There's not many people that can say that they had a former world champion rig there kit up for them, but amazingly i expierenced that, when he rigged me the new bonzai 4 battern sail which was the lightest and most responsive sail me and lecky have ever tried. After a chat about maui and how his windsurfing career began me and lecky have decided that maui is the place that we most want to go! So now we have had Jason Polakow, Levi siver, and now Fransisco sailing on one of our local beaches, not bad for a estuary in the middle of essex.

Last week i had exam week so was pretty stressed with revising all week so on thursday i went for a sail because all the locals were out after school and it was quite windy and sunny, i practised my calve gybes and pulled most of them off, so hopefully they will start to help with my wave riding this

summer in ireland.

Last weekend i also went windsurfing again, but we went down camber this time with some of our friends from canvey, it was light winds when we first got there so was out on a 4.1 but then picked up towards the end so was comfortably powered up, there was some good ramps out the back and some nice little waves on the inside that was good for riding.

This weekend me dad and nathan when down to camber sands and the conditions were amazing i was on a 4.2 and 84lit mentle over powed and dad and nath were on the same siz there was a couple of nice ramps out there. i had a great day cant wait for the next one.
