Riding NE's at Jericho (I actually prefer Tolmie launch for NE) is actually a lot of fun. It's one of those rare cases where you get clean wind right next to the beach so you can put on a show for the passers by.
It didn’t feel that cold actually, I think I would have been fine for the 45 minutes of daylight I had left. I’ll save my energy for tomorrow and Friday.
