Yeah. So. I was betrothed to my faithful Yakboard
But I’m a bad man. Earlier in the year I had a brief fling with a Yahoo!
No. She caused conflict. She had to depart and so she left for a friend of mine.
I have to confess also to a few fumbles with Mysto (great on clean waves), Frenzy (great in big swell), Strike (fast and unstable), Five-O (fantastic with clean waves), Freedom (no comment) but none gave me the lasting love I so craved. My troubles were over. Yakboard and I could wake up together and have some great rides into the future. Or so I thought.
“I’ve found what you were looking for”
Hmm, I’m not Bono but that still sounds good.
“Where? The States”
“Nope. Northern warehouse”
“You’re kidding!”
As I drove to Cheshire I parted with my cash, paying her pimp off. She was mature yet a virgin…never even been kissed and so she came home with me ready for a beautiful future.

I was up at 6, Si was coming over and we were going to fish. I wanted dabs. My wind tree said otherwise and I wandered up to the beach. No way could we fish that. Force 5 southeasterly. We couldn’t even surf it. Si arrived…surf it? Yeah, why not.
And so…and so…and so…
I’m so indiscreet. Yakboard, I still love you but this here is RRRapido and I’m in love again!
She arched her back, willing me on top.
As I caressed her, ready to mount her for the first time, waves of pleasure reared up
I straddled her. She was already wet.
Now, you may think I’m being overly gushing but just look at her. Look at the little minx. Who wouldn’t go wild for a piece of her?
9’7 long, 26” wide, 38lb in weight. A shallow draught, low volume, planing hull, soft rails, upswept bow…Time to rock n’ roll.
In we went
I paddled out, the first wave rolled in; I was twenty metres off the shoreline. And went straight back over her ;D
One Nil to RRRapido!
I tried again. I got a bit further.
Then it was Two nil. Third time lucky, I got out past the breaking chop. I managed to stay upright for a few minutes. Then I spotted a wave that I could catch, I looked at it too long and rolled over that way. Man, she was a handful!
She was on about eight before I opened my score with half a ride before I swam again.
I was starting to get the hang of things now. Temperamental like all thoroughbreds I was till swimming much of the time.
And then, on about fifteen two I managed to catch a wave face, Si in the water with the camera and I tore in towards him, flicking her sideways and carving around him…the camera, of course, missed the best picture which I knew would have been the best ever of me on a yak as I shot in close…too much lag and too much water but it was above my head and curling and then I came out as it crashed into foam
Oh yeah, she has potential! Back out again…
And back in again!
I nearly rolled her upright too, was almost up when the next wave hit me!
I gave up trying while I could still breathe.
Si had also had a play a bit earlier, having started with the Yakboard until enough bits gave way off the worn-out accessories. A commendable effort considering just how poor conditions were, how squirrely the RRRapido is and how it was his first time surf yakking.
Hell, I was doing that on the Yakboard my first time in this is far less forgiving!
Well, I can’t say I’ve conquered her just yet at twenty-five to five (and three of them awarded for courage as much as staying upright!) but what the hell, I got my fun factor!
So, will the slut break my heart ?
