Ben Proffitt K800 back on the water!!
Back on the water!!.
Well for a week anyway... then i ended up splitting the kipper again!!
That's got to be my best week of the trip so far... well it was windy, wavey and I wasn't injured.. well not that injured anyway!!
We also had a big team effort on the video front, with all the house taking it in turn to film... top effort boys!!
I wasn't at full, full power but the conditions were fun and we managed to get some pretty good stuff... so I might be able to make a mini movie from capetown this year!! ...well we'll see i'm just going through the footage now.. not holding my breath!!
All the action is pretty much from 'Little Britian' (most northern car park at Sunset) I much prefer it there as it can be pretty good for jumping and the riding is usually smoother!
Like I said; I had about week of sailing and was really starting to get back into it... and although I could feel my Gooch (groin) it wasn't getting worse!!
That was until I got a bit carried away and started doing a bit of freestyle... yes, freestyle.. don't ask!!!
Anyway I went for a 'toad' off this little wave and over cooked it!! The result was me landing full speed but with my back foot out the strap!!! Trust me, I couldn't have done it worse if i tried... as my foot got dragged behind and it totally split my kipper!!! OOOuuuchhhh... it made a noise that you could hear from the beach... shortly followed by me swearing about how much of a penis I was for trying the stooopid move. Which i imagine you could have heard back in England!!! ....I'm such a tool sometimes!!!
So that was it.. back to camera duty for me and another couple of weeks on the sidelines!!! Gutted.. especially as I'm nearing the end of my trip and I have to get pics!!
cheers
Ben
