With the knowledge that Naips, Rus & Rob were likely to be there, the prospect of a good session seemed dashed on arrival with the news that it didn't look too inspiring. Past experience reminded me how quickly that could change at Skeg', and sure enough by the time we were suited up, it was picking up. With the offshore breeze just that today, it made for an easier time of it and I was quickly into my stride. Very soon it was clear that we were going to be in for a memorable session. The craic was good and it was fun sharing the waves with a handful of buddies as we were.

There were some nice even shoulder high sets coming in by the time it was an hour before HT, and I was stoked by the quality [and quantity] of my successful take offs compared to what I'd call normal for me. Some of the drops were fearsome too, but it was my timing and positioning I felt really good about. Sure many of the rides were ended prematurely, but I can't say I've had such a fun time at Skeg'. Just short of three hours after getting in we called it a day...then it was time to strip off and change in freezing rain. Suckers? nah!
