windsurfer2

I was having trouble believing how fast this windsurfer was moving. The wind was outrageously strong yesterday, and I reckon he must have been doing about 40MPH along the coast. When he hit a big wave, the whole thing leapt high into the air, but I completely failed to get a photograph of that. This picture isn't particularly sharp as I was having trouble holding the camera steady in the wind with my 300mm lens fitted.

The surfers have been out in force for the last couple of days too.

Today is the start of the Borth Square Festival. It's a small music festival (5000 people or so) that is now in it's third year. Pendulum and Alabama 3 played last year, but there is no-one so big this time although there should be a lot of good music. The lineup includes:

Supergrass
The Beat
Skindred
65daysofstatic

There are hundreds of other acts in a very broad spectrum of styles and it should be good. I will, of course, be doing my roving photographer act. I'm also considering taking my guitar down when the main music finishes for some campfire sing-song action. This is only possible as we live literally 5 minutes walk from the site. How cool is that - a festival on our doorstep!

Cheers, Tom.
