A nip down on a sunny day, trying to outwit the crowds and get the light onshore after the glassy morning as an odd surprise new swell drifted into nooks and crannies across Vicco.
Sadly up there for thinking was too smart for its own good and what I got on arrival at the beach was a fair handful of devil wind riffling a lineup that would have been pretty magic.
I'd picked up old MC as he is car-less at the moment, so we hunted wider from where we might usually wet the boards, eventually settling on a spot nearby with headland protection and a nice little right that wasn't too shabby.
For a while there though it was hard to get a wave as the local lads of the throwing air variety had also woken up to the spot, so old fatboy was doubly restricted by age, slowing reaction times and hot kids thirty plus years my junior getting the better of me.
Mind you Maurice wasn't slowed down much, and he's only two weeks younger.
But I ain't him.
Eventually a few dances to crow about, as the wave had speed and steepness, and the odd bit of size though the shot was taken after the tide started to fill on a quick turn around walking back up the track.
The sets were at least twice as big.
Pics: One of the airboys and MC looking a bit waterlogged.
