In the last week I've been lucky to sail at Kimmeridge three times - each day sailing for 4 or more hours (making the drive worthwhile). On the whole conditions have been fantastic - sunny and the West wind pushing in a windswell which the ledges do a great a job of cleaning up into some lovely jump-able sections and the odd bowl and peak to waveride on.Here are a few pictures from the session.First a panoramic shot of the bay from Sunday 17 August - this is the most beautiful spot on the South coast. Don't be deceived by this picture there were nice chest high waves round the corner on the ledges. You can just see Jan and his son Jack blasting in to the bay (click to enlarge)

And another of the bay in early morning light
And then the sailing:Bottom turning on broad bench
While regular k bay sailor Neil show me how to do it below - also on Broad Bench - these pictures were taken by Graham, who I often sail with, but a torn ligament in his shoulder means he is off the water for a few weeks - get well and I hope you are better for the Autumn.
And the obligatory loop shots
