Its been an amazing week, of leaving the car, and catching surprisingly mellow sessions on my home patch. I don't know when I have laughed and smiled so much and just feel exhausted from all the paddling. Massive thank you to Sharky, who I met last weekend. A few key words really lifted my confidence this week, and places I have struggled to come to terms with, have really opened up for my surfing. 

It was great to catch up with everyone last night and sneak in a post-sail beer. In these dark times where kiters seem to rule the land, it's nice to feel that a brotherhood still exists. Throughout the week various guys have been getting out, and even more importantly inspiring others. As we watched at the point last night, yet more windsurfers seemed to be coming out of the wood work, enjoying all the moves being thrown. So as we enter the windy season, I can honestly say I am psyched to sail with all of you guys, whatever the conditions. Hence my photo of the week has to be Matt G making the most of yesterday's onshore, proving it doesn't have to be down the line to have fun !
