Sandy-Day 2 Revisited

Fabulously epic day on Sunday. 4.5 Legend and the 75 quad
Lewes, Delaware is MY home break , and the cool thing is, when its really windy and conditions get good, there are no strings attached
moderate shore break-but totally manageable
here's a shot of my friend Ian
lots of white water



relatively onshore
full power backside hits



gybing in between swells was a dream












 
 
This had never happened to me before. Emergency personal came out, but not as spectators
they got my friend Ian, telling him to pack it up 
and they waited for me to come in....but I never did. lol
not until the gave up any way.... Its funny, i was on my way in for a break, while they were waiting, and Janis urges me to stay out...she mouthed the words " stay out-dont come in" so I did. LOL. PRICELESS
Stan and I sailed for about 3 hours-epic stuff 

very well organized on the inside for gybes 







 



backside hits where a blast
soooooo much fun 



The first 2/3 of the sesh where relatively precipitation free. But then it started to deteriorate. and got very gusty too.


spend a lot of time rubbing the rain out my eyes 
 

I gotta tell ya
flying thru the air like this 
is no fun at all ;) 
 
 


 

one of the best sessions of the year for sure
