Surfers permitting you then get more like ten turns to each wave, which is just about as good as it gets! The wind was a little too south westerly that day and you can see the chop on the faces, which isn’t there on a westerly, but this was still pretty special. We had another couple of hours of quality riding before I was just too knackered to bottom turn anymore! We came in and headed back to the Buddle for a traditional après sail pint with JC. As always I sat there regretting not coming over for this more often!
Then it was back to the ferry, with the traditional phone calls to the Wittering boys who didn’t come over to compare notes! And this time JC made sure we had the photos to prove it! Don’t be put off by the high tide stories. This is an amazing place to sail when the water’s not making the launch heroic! If you’re based in the south, next time you’re thinking of a Cornwall wave trip just check the Niton forecast because it really should be on any wavesailor’s ‘been there done that’ list. The ferry can be pricy, but if a group of you cram into a car it’s not too bad and the day return rate isn’t as much as the petrol to the West Country! NG
