HURRICANE NOEL


HURRICANE NOEL WAS HARDCORE.

Saturday was such an hardcore session. Suuper windy, over 40 knots blowing straight off-shore. It was pouring and it was soo cold.
1st Beach in Newport had epic conditions, wind side-off (more off than side), building up maassive swell (mast height?).

Us 3 crazy dudes went out at 2nd Beach in Newport. Once in the water, conditions weren't as fun...wind was blowing dead offshore gusty as hell. It was 0 to 50 knots in 2 secs. One second you were slogging, the next second the 3.7m was exloding off your hands...
It was nuts.

Got a bunch of vids and pics (grazie papĂ ), not so good as the cam fogged up soon and the wind was ripping so much that even taking vids was hard!
Here are some still shots...sucks they don't really show how radical it was. Better ones to come...hopefully.

Ciao Davide,
Bello veder che c'e' qualche altro windsurfer italiano wui nel New England!
Io sono su nel NH, e con Noel ci siamo dati da fare pure noi! Se vuoi ti mando un paio di foto.
Bisogna fare qualche uscita comune!

Spero a presto
