There was some decent surf rolling in at around 2-3 foot and little wind but the waves were still a bit messy. Not ideal for board surfing but it looked good for some relaxed surf-skiing in the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I carried my boat over, jumped on and reacquainted myself with the &#8216;tippyness&#8217; then powered out through the waves. As always, it was a little bigger than it looked out there but I was soon out the back without mishap. I picked off my first wave and had a nice surf back towards the beach before paddling out to do it again. The second wave was equally as good and as I pulled off the back the crest of the wave broke onto the nose of the boat. I stayed on at first but then over-balanced once the wave caught the back of the boat and pulled me backwards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not a problem as I could quickly remount before the next wave came, but upon doing so I noticed a big crack along the nose of the boat. I&#8217;m not sure if it was there before I started paddling today or if it had developed whilst paddling out or even on that last wave, but with a crack more than a foot long in the side of the boat it was time to call it a day. I paddled back out so that I could turn around and then caught a final wave back into the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery is-style-rectangular has-rounded-corners-10\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crack-in-side-of-Ski.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crack-in-side-of-Ski.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crack-in-side-of-Ski.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crack-in-side-of-Ski.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"Crack in Side of Ski\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"42078\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=42078\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crack-in-side-of-Ski.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Crack-in-side-of-Ski.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:50.00000%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cracked-Surf-Ski.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cracked-Surf-Ski.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cracked-Surf-Ski.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cracked-Surf-Ski.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=950&#038;ssl=1 950w\" alt=\"Cracked Surf Ski\" data-height=\"713\" data-id=\"42079\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=42079\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cracked-Surf-Ski.jpg\" data-width=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cracked-Surf-Ski.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I have to decide what to do. Getting it repaired is never easy, especially around here so I might be in the market for another new one. It does however seem a shame to just resign it to the back of the boat rack to rot away with the other broken boats. Someone somewhere must be able to repair it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been in contact with someone who might be willing to part-exchange it for another boat, but the boat he has isn&#8217;t really suitable. I guess I&#8217;ll have to see if he&#8217;s interested in just buying it, maybe along with the other ski that has been sitting on my boat rack for a while in need of repair. If he&#8217;s willing to do that I have options on new or ex-demo si relatively locally so might son be making a trip to Fishguard to try some out. It&#8217;s an expensive business though with boat prices rangin from about \u00a32000 to \u00a34500, I&#8217;m not sure I really get enough use out of them to justify it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having not been out on a surf ski, or paddle boat of any description for a while I was quite excited to get out there on Saturday.
