He couldn't jump out of his boat, he still hasn't got one! That ripple was produced by mightier forces than Dave, poor lamb... That wave did hurt, and they knew it would: Bracing himself against the inevitable!!

Tell BWD to stop jumping out of his boat when people are trying to launch...but it does explain his name though! |

Sand is worse for the boat though - shingle rolls nicely but sand is solid stuff and hurts boats far more...

Excellent Photo, That is exactly what it looks like here on Big Wave days
Mind you I do have Sand instead of Pebbles. |

We've got a few nice waves on pebbles in Lancing. Launching can be interesting... |

Thanks for all the replies, someone at the club pointed out to me yesterday that I could get a High Performance boat for days (Like Yesterday) with a flat sea and a gentle 3 or 4 and keep the Laser for the other days when I go out with the Kiteboarders and Windsurfers in a 6 or 7 with the big waves. (Apparently they all think I am mad anyway but enjoy watching from the clubhouse)
I think what will probably happen is I will get an RS6/700 or Contender and then learn to Windsurf for the big waves days ? Be a lot easier on the Maintenance costs

Sounds like you should get your self an old MX Ray. Not a trap boat but it
has a kite and goes like stink. And has similar strength properties to a laser in the hull and foils. |
