storm eunice hits the uk on friday for the southern half of the uk an amber warning
remains in force risk of 60 to 70 miles per hour wind gusts in places risk of 80 mile per hour wind
look at that
i've never seen anything like this this is storm earnest or eunice i can't pronounce it it just
gusted almost 70 knots in all my time i've never seen this strong wind it's insane i want to be out
there so bad and for the first time in anyone's history my grandma's my grandparents history they
have closed the bridge onto the island because of the extreme high tide that we're about to witness
um yeah never in our lifetimes have we ever known them to actually close the bridge so for two hours
today you can't get off and on the island where we live so you know 40 000 people stranded on hailing
but i'm not gonna go kiting maybe just yet um because it is 70 knots i don't know about that
seems a bit seems a bit foolish but we are going to do a sup down winder now i put my biggest
wing my biggest foil on my big 120 liter moon buddy sup and we're going to do a down winder
from here all the way to the bridge um and with with no form of wing or anything we're literally
just going to let the wind push us so i think it's going to be insane and i think there's going to be
no problem getting enough um force to drive us all the way to the bridge i think it could be
fun we're gonna take a paddle as well but i don't think we're gonna need it check it out
oh yes here we go my first sup foil down winder um in 70 knots of wind is actually a force 12.
we're going to try and get a couple of miles in the harbor
see if we can get up on the foils
yewww
that was sick
made it to the beach, now we've got to walk miles with our boards
finally back in the van after a pretty extreme experience that was amazing just being amongst
it you know like battling the elements and just you know sat on the board with with the smoke
you know when it gets that windy like the water whips into like a smoke and you get these rainbows
you may have seen in the gopro um it was bloody hard work actually like to get up on the foil
was a bit more effort than i thought you know i was like max heart rate trying to get up
and also just it was so hard to stand on the board you know like if you think even just holding the
paddle itself was like blowing me around um but i did have a couple of really good runs
so i'm stoked with that yeah from my first experience it was it was pretty extreme um you
know we're only inside the harbour so there wasn't like massive waves and massive swell but there was
still kind of like waste highways which was pretty crazy to be to be in a sheltered area and we
were just heading you know not not that far it's probably only a mile downwind so it was all pretty
safe um i've just got back from the kite beach i was tempted to go out but decided against it
none of the homies were up for going out and didn't fancy it by myself in like 60 70 knots
um and having a baby in a couple of weeks so thought i'd be the sensible thing which
is the first time i've ever done that in my life it feels a bit weird i feel a bit gutted
that i missed out on it i just love being out there battling the elements um but you know
there'll be plenty more and uh yeah but yeah epic day um yeah it was hard work riding that
big 120 liter board with the big foil it's quite cumbersome i've got used to riding quite a small
foil and board lately with winging and kiting um but
really cool to be like on you know a little wave with just a wind and this tiny little wave blowing
you from behind that was quite cool um but yeah my first experience stop falling epic storm munis was
like nothing we've ever seen before so yeah subscribe if you're not already
smash a like button if um you enjoyed us battling the storm and i'll see in the next video peace out
