[thrill me prolog p3]

Friday 29th, June 2007

After long weeks of flatness, the forecasts for the north sea finaly promised some waves. But as the low´s path would be straight across the center of the north sea, it was still a gamble. Epic surf or mushy crap were still a possibility with equal chances.

I left Hamburg in the late afternoon, cruising up north easy in the knowledge that there would be enough light untill 11.30 pm. At about eight I reached the beach. It was raining and the wind that should be sideshore was onshore. Waves were mushy and small. I started to fear that the weather dice would roll the wrong way.

A little later some of my buddies arrived, really hungry for waves and they decided to give it a go anyhow. When they went out the swell started to get more size, but it was still onshore monster mush. At the horizon the clouds let pass some sun rays and produced some dramatic lighting.

I decided to let it go and continue healing my cold. I watched the show for a while and than drove on to reach my overnight spot.
