Those conditions yesterday were horrible. Whilst today is way cleaner... it's way smaller.
Well, it wasn't 20 knots onshore and there was swell... therefore that's pretty good for us currently residing in the Northern European region

.
These days I paddle out in anything as long as I can see some sort of a wave and I can safely take a board off the roof racks without the wind ripping it out of my hands. I realise how spoilt I was where I grew up with consistent swell and mostly good conditions and the "chilly" 20 C water temperatures in the winter.
