It was on-shore with head to logo high waves and reminded me of a good day in Europe! I took out my brand new Manic 5.0 because she has been feeling pretty good and we had some fun.... Until I landed a backloop and the mast just snapped in my hands.... Oh great. Ripped the luff sleeve up nice and had a lovely swim back in narrowly avoiding a rock dance! Thanks Paul for the ride in!<br \/>\nAt this stage it was pouring in rain and people were starting to come in. I did what any real man would do, rigged up my favorite trusty 5.0 Manic backup sail and got back on the horse. The wind kept blowing and I\u2019m very glad I re-rigged. Nearing the end of the session, I had another crash that ended in disaster for my favorite 5.0! The sail completely tore in half, through the luff panel and right out the leech reinforcement. Given the sail probably had over 30,000 miles on her, I accepted defeat and will be doing a ceremony for her this afternoon. I will miss her but it is time to move on....<br \/>\nThe forecast for today is 30 knots plus with massive surf. Sounds like fun.....<\/p>\n<p><a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-54 aligncenter\" title=\"US10Matt\" src=\"http:\/\/pritchardwindsurfing.com\/blog2013\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/386047_10150416027052482_835752481_8422195_1826412453_n.jpg\" alt=\"Matt Pritchard US-10\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lots of hype on big winds blasting down the pacific so I jumped in the rig and headed down to Hookipa.
