Dungeons in November

Sunday saw us heading out in the rain to dungeons. The day started off slowly with large lulls in the sets. The tide was high in the morning making the waves not stand up like the would be in the afternoon, the wind was also strong making it difficult for the guys to paddle in. Simon Lowe got 2 bombs as well as Mike Slebach getting a great close out barrel. Frank Soloman had 3 horrible wipes on big 15ft set waves, we all cringed as we watched him skipping down the face in the barrel of a monster. Jake Kolnick got 9 stitches in the head from his board hitting him. Sammy came aboard the boat after a bad wipe out, eyes blood shot and bleeding from the ears!

Mat Bromley caught some great waves.

Other casualties included broken boards of Frank and Mike Baleta (Mad Mike), come to think of it I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mike leave dungeons with any whole boards.

Thanks to all those that joined us for the day

The wind picked up as the swell died and we headed to the Lookout Deck where the party continued
