Met Strawb at Dip but big wind shadow so off to Fludyers where it looked 5m weather. I measured 16.5knots on the shore compared to 23 yesterday; more out to sea on both days but a useful benchmark. Rigged 96/5.3m but wind dropped after 1 run so 6m which was perfect and wind picked up at times so 5.3m would have been fine. Sea quite choppy and 62cm wide board bounced a lot and fluffed a lot of inshore gybes. Sea flattened as neared low and wind dropped. Tried a few jumps but were dismal. Enjoyed the day. Squiz and Ian out early too. Mas had his usual exciting time and will read his happy tale later. Andy M and a few others turned up later.
