Day 14 - Sunset Beach

6.2, 113 litres and about 20 knots...Was a good solid sail today.

There was not much wind about in the morning so we just went for a drive out to Coronation and went for a SUP and a bit of a swim/snorkel. It was getting hot so we decided to go back into town and get ready for the afternoon winds.

We chose Sunset today, a bit less crowded, less lobster pots and It holds a bit of swell. A few little wave rides, some average jumps and some screaming broad reach runs...It was a lot of fun.

We were having some drag races today and I came so close to a massive wipe out....It scared the crap out of me. It happened so quick I don't really know what went wrong, At full speed and absolutely convinced I was going to set a new PB for myself I somehow became detached from the board. I was going fast and I could hear Matt coming up on my inside, I didn't want to be beaten so I put the hammer down. I was skipping over the chop and accelerating...I knew I had him beat, I glanced over my shoulder to give him a smile and I lost it. I Still have no idea what happened, it was a split second...The board got all crossed up, my front foot was out of the straps and I was going to die. Somehow I managed to keep my back foot in the strap and pull the board back in under my ass and get my front foot back in and sail away.....The adrenalin was pumping. It would have been the biggest wipeout I'd ever had, lucky for me I got away with It.

With that I called it a day....Back into it tomorrow.
