SURFS, MTB, WINDSURF, HIKE, KAYAK - THE LOT - 22 TO 28 MAY 2020

22 MAY 2020

A surf in front of Terrigal Surfclub.

There were so many out surfing with mals sitting way out and inside. It was hard getting a wave. I had a couple but dropped in on others. Not a fun surf.

23 MAY 2020

A mountain bike ride at Kincumba Mountain.

A  fun ride along firm tracks. there was a new track that ran off the summit track and followed a ridge to the north west. 

24 MAY 2020

A ballistic windsurf at Canton Beach.

The wind was light at first then wham it kicked in and it was wild. I just managed to hang in at times on the strong gusts. the conditions were very bumpy so it was hard to gybe around with the strong gusts as well.

An exciting fun ride. Lisa, Peter. Bill and Craig were there as well.

26 MAY 2020

A hike at Kincumba Mountain with Jacinta.

We wandered along a number of tracks and enjoyed the quietness of the bush.

27 MAY 2020

A surf at Umina Beach with Ken.

I had a shocker of a surf. I kept falling off stupidly. It turned out that my back was a bit stiff from the windsurf which put my balance off. Oh well, good days and bad days haha.

28 MAY 2020

An early kayak along Piles Creek.

I started on Mooney Creek and paddled down creek to Piles Creek. The tide was low and had just turned to high when I started. 

It was quiet and the mangroves and bush looked serene. The water was still and reflective with misty rising off the water and land as the new day heralded. Along the way, I stopped at a white sand bank as the water was too shallow to progress. I wandered around waiting for more water. After 20 minutes it was passable but around the next bend was a large fallen tree that had blocked further access up the creek.

A late morning surf at Wamberal Beach at Surfer's Road with Ken. This time, I surfed heaps better and was a happy surfer chappy again. :) The waves didn't last long as the incoming tide made them too full.
