OUT RIDING ON THE WATER TODAY pl v13 15-20MPH, 3-4 FT SWELLS (ROUGH FOR THE AREA )SIDE ON

RIDING, JUMPS, ROLLS, WORKING BOTH EDGES, IN GENERAL RIPPIN' IT UP. GETTING SUPER STUPID WITH THE ROLL THING. BLOW A FEW WITH NOT MUCH RECOVERY ISSUES, JUST DROP THE BOARD.

i ditched my 10v in 30knots and 8ft waves yesterday and had it back in the air in about 30 secs, with the added advantage of keeping my borad on my feet aswell. what puzzles me though is the reason why it fell out of the sky in the first place. the wind was abit twitchy and the venom was jellyfishing abit but i was holding it down. then without any warning it just collapsed. as i said relaunch was fine so it didnt turn out to be a problem, but it left me with an uneasy feeling for the rest of the session.

Good Winds
