Sele delivers Da Goods !










Went down to Sele on Saturday and was greeted with a miserable sight,bit of rain and really onshore. waited in the car for about 20 mins and then the sun broke through,the wind kicked in sideshore ,and the waves started to look interresting ! actually the conditions exeeded the forecast,which unfortunlately doesnt happen too often around here. Went out with 5.3 but got overpowered almost instantly. rigged down to 4.7 and were fully powered ! the waves had a bit punch today,got a few but it was kind of one of those days were your timing feels a bit off. However im not complaining, even getting washed felt good ! been to little of that this summer..

The picture quality could have been better if i had turned of ALL the concert photo settings. forget to reset the exposurecompensation heavily underexposed pictures with a bit of focus problems. postprocessing helps though..

That sounds nice Paal. Nothing is better than when the conditions suddenly change to the best! Nice pictures!

Yes, i think it caught some of the local sailors by surprise as well, usually on a Saturday, with conditions like that the place is packed ! but this day only a few showed up. just before dark some of the most eager sailors here showed up looking a bit stressed..
