Wednesday afternoon was lovely, I sailed all the way up to Tywyn, then back to Ynyslas and thought I&#8217;d continue on to Borth, but just as I thought that my boom snapped and I was dumped unceremoniously in the sea. Luckily I was able to waterstart using the other side of the boom and sail back to the beach using my &#8216;asymmetric boom&#8217;, but it did bring my session to an early end&#8230; The boom was only 3 months old so will be replaced under warranty. I&#8217;ve spoken with Gun where I bought it from and they will replace it with no questions asked.<\/p>\n<p>Then on Thursday I went out, and after half an hour landed from a jump and snapped my lovely Naish Hybrid Freewave board in two. It wasn&#8217;t a big jump, I never do anything particularly big as I&#8217;m not THAT good, and I certainly wouldn&#8217;t have expected it to snap that easily&#8230; The board is a year old and was the only board I&#8217;ve ever had from new, so it is pretty disappointing that I&#8217;ve snapped it as it was the best board I&#8217;ve ever owned. So far I haven&#8217;t heard back from Naish, but it would be good if they would replace it under the warranty as I&#8217;m sure a board should be able to take more abuse than I&#8217;ve thrown at it over the past 12 months&#8230; We&#8217;ll have to wait see.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos of the damage&#8230; Don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be sailing it again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/p1010592.jpg\" title=\"Snapped Naish Hybrid Freewave\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/p1010592.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Snapped Naish Hybrid Freewave\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/p1010593.jpg\" title=\"Naish Hybrid Freewave in two parts\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/07\/p1010593.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Naish Hybrid Freewave in two parts\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its been an expensive week for me&#8230; At last the wind returned so I was able to get out windsurfing.
