Hurley - April 30 2005 (Swimmer)

They'd fixed the gate so it was on two back in the corner. Met Martyn in the car park and was very surprised to get to the wave to find no one else there, this despite it a sunny Saturday afternoon? Was quite a high two and a bit flushly, managed to do a few things but couldn't really seem to get much going, washed out to easily. Highlight of the afternoon was
warning Martyn we didn't want to see any more of this letting go of the paddles nonsense. Low and behold Martyn got flipped, made a dodgy attempt at a roll, let go of his paddles, almost hand rolled up and then bailed out. I was sitting in the eddy somewhat bemused at his antics but decided I'd better go help him get out. Always a pleasure to help Martyn get out the water after a swim!
