Windsurfing: DIP Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: F4 - 5 Surf / Sea State: FLAT / CHOP Air Temperature: 7C Sea Temperature: COLD Weather: SUNNY Max Speed: 27 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered:
Whilst trying to charge my GPS unsuccessfully - I thought it was too cold,
although sun was out. The sea looked great for me and Steve C found me
hanging around and convinced me to stay. The GPS took 10 mins charge. The
wind sun and sea was great. Rigged 7.8 RS Slalom / 145 rocket 76 and had a
great time GPS top speed 27 kts, could have gone faster, but wind increased
to F5 and gear was too big. Surprisingly didn't feel the water temperature,
despite falling in, Guls Delta winter suits are good. Much prefer my gear
to the hire stuff in El Medano! and nice start to season. Switch GTX gear
to Prydes RS Slaloms for 2010. The 7.8M is a hot sail cranking upwind
without effort. The Steves, Rog Mark Andy, Alton Tim and others out and
going well.
Looking out for a nearly new 490 and 460 X6 masts + 38cm power box fin
