The weather in the south of the UK has been mighty fine for the last week or so. And after another hectic week at work, I needed to get out in a kayak. Whether that was in surf or play boat, I wasn’t fussy. Surf looked flat as a pancake on the Boscombe surf cam, so off to Hurley with  Chris I went. Now, I’d heard rumours that Hurley on two gates was mediocre. I have to say, IMHO based on the fabulous day i had, those rumours were unfounded. Check out some of these posers

It was great to see a fairly balanced women/men ratio in the eddy. I managed to get a few snaps of the ladies too!

I am finally getting fairly consistent with my back stab. I think i nailed 3 or 4 in my session. Now if only I can get my blunt; 2 years in trying. What an epic day at Hurley. Huge holler out to all the wonderful people I met in the eddy for making the day so much fun!
