After a not very good
session in the morning, Steve
and I watched some videos and wandered across to the beach a few times
waiting for the wind to pick up. Eventually at around 3.30pm it did so we
headed back over to the beach.
Steve took the same kit as before, a 6.2m and Fanatic Hawk 108, I took a
smaller sail 5.6m and my S-Type and Naish Freewave. It was definitely
windier than before but whilst we were rigging not that windy.
Once on the water though it filled in properly and we were both really well
powered up. If anything overpowered so I cam back in and changed down to
the smaller board and Steve applied more outhaul and downhaul.
Back out with more manageble kit for a good sail and then the wind eased
off a little again so we changed back to the bigger / more powerful kit.
The waves were now much bigger as well with some really big lumps out the
back. I don't very often sail my bigger board in such conditions but once
I'd got used to jumping it all felt good.
We had a really good sail, well powered up in challenging conditions. Steve
then got munched by a big wave and destroyed his sail so we called it a day
and headed back to dinner which Anna had cooked and was ready as soon as we
were... Nice!
