When to fold em, when to walk away, when to run

 

Loaded up last night for a first light launch from Southbourne . As you know I've had a weather eye on a window and the forecast came good

Unfortunately so did the predicted swell. Looking from the cliffs it looked doable but the waves were about 5 feet and constant

I set up on the beach and counted the sets . Southbourne is deep straight off the beach and it's not a great idea to be dumped on launch. I remember Ken getting a soaking in the summer and it was not easy for him recovering his gear.

I was watching like Bodie Zaffa when Brian ( Geordie) joined me on the beach. We ummmed.... We ahhhhed.........we saw sense and hauled back up the hill.

This is as close as Lofty 4 got to a Southbourne launch today
