So I've got the second hand board and kit ready to go. Take myself down to Preston beach on Sunday afternoon, looks a bit choppy for me but no pain, no gain.

Tackled getting the sail and board all together, not too bad I thought. Now dragg it all into the sea.......ah ha, bloody knackered already. Right, up on the board, bend zee knees, pull.........oops fall off. Straight back up on, pull up the mast and grab the....wave.....splash...try again, wave....splash......and so it goes on. Did manage to get hold of the 'boom' a few times for a fraction of a second before....wave....splash.........unbalance.....splash...get the picture?

After an hour and a half, knees bleeding and bloody knackered, but still laughing we got up, we got the boom in hand and ...............we balanced, actually got some wind in the sail and moved forward for about 15 seconds......until............wave..........splash, off again.

Ha ha, absolutely knackered and loved it can't wait for the 2nd attempt, going for a full minute next time!

ciao.
