Not much surf to report since our last good swell really, a few small longboard days here and there but that's been about it.
I went for a run last night and was saddened to find a small but fun looking summer wave at rest breaking around 2ft on sets so perhaps I should have checked first! ;0
The Welsh National Surfing Championships are scheduled for this weekend but with a small swell forecast I have might doubts as to whether they will actually run anything other than longboard heats...
More hot n sunny weather ahead so it looks like I'll be cranking up the BBQ and having a few cold ones this weekend :)
Sunday looks like our best hope of a wave in South Wales so fingers crossed.
This in from my amigo in Oregon - the next big thing? I doubt it some how, imagine all the kooks getting out back and then getting into trouble when the batteries die...
"Powered by an integrated twin-lithium ion battery pack, WaveJet is capable of 20 pounds of thrust, has a continuous run-time of over 30 minutes, and recharges in a standard wall socket".
This bit sounds positively idyllic: "Kayakers will have an auxiliary power source beyond their paddles. So you can expend less energy fighting currents and have more fun riding them."
"SUPers can get up and running immediately and push the limits of their board's capabilities".
"You will no longer have to depend solely on the strength of your arms or be towed into big waves".
All in all it sounds pretty horrific to me!
