Awoke from nights with the rattle of window frames at home, boosted to Walton on the Naze , a few locals out on 4.2 wave kit ! Nearly rigged the medium kit but last minute decided on the 98/6.2 combo ! It worked well in the gusts and for once I stopped a few times to tweak the kit moving the mast up and down a little. 
first session of year with no booties on "loving this"
