As everybody´s favourite fish factory was already pretty populated I drove a bit further west to a less popular beach and hung out there for a while, hoping for the swell to make it over here too. Mid-afternoon I lost patience though and returned to the smelly place. The obligatory stop alongside the road running down to the harbour revealed that the masses were right this time and the sandbars behind the jetty giving shelter from the southwest might be the best option in the area.
The wind was a light side-offshore and at the beginning the lineup consisted of a mix of windsurfers, stand-up-paddlers, a guy on a foil-SUP and a few brave surfers in between, thus reflecting almost the whole range of wave-riding tools currently available.
Then the wind picked up a bit and for a while windsurfers were dominating the lineup. They weren´t on standard wave boards though but were riding voluminous hybrids, some of them just blown-up wave boards, but mostly strap-less SUP boards with a joint to fix a mast foot. Shapes of these SUP hybrids ranged from oversized longboard to stubby to extra wide fish forms.
