Two Days of Icey, Empty & Pumping Porthleven



Here's some pre-surf iphone shots from the last couple of days at levy. This first one you can see a dot in front of the wave - that's someone paddling out. It was firing, and due to the swell forecasting sites hyping it up, the main reef was packed, but because the swell was from the south the best waves were on the pier, which due to the fact it was barreling it's tits off meant just a few people on bodyboards wanted anything to do with it, which was fine by us.


This was from this morning (tuesday), a bit smaller, but less crowded and pumping again on both reefs. I think the cold helped keep people away. My suit got pretty iced between these sessions, but as testament to it's effectiveness, once I'd got it on I was actually pretty warm in the sea. Even after 4 hours. The Prodigy 6/5/4 did me proud. Bring on the rest of the winter swells!
