Yeeeha! A perfect session and I once again feel like a windsurfer at last.
It's been a while since we've had any wind like that so I just kept on
going, covering over 40 miles in the end!
I went out with my little 70 ltr JP wave board and a 5m sail and was
perfectly powered up the whole time. The sail felt just right and was
perfectly rigged, and it was a joy to be out on the small board. Right from
the off I was launching into big jumps with complete control in the air so
was feeling good. Gybes were good too and I was having a whale of a time
out there.
Mike AndyB and another kite-surfer who I didn't see close up (I don't know
everyone's kites anymore) were out for a whole but they got off the water
when the rains came. After that I had the place to myself which was a
little miserable in the pouring rain but kind of nice too.
I even had a fairly credible back-loop attempt at one point when a steep
wave reared up in front of me. Talking of which, the waves were goo,
nothing too intimidating just perfect ramps on every run and for a while
when the wind seemed to swing more southerly I had some good front-side
wave rides on some of the bigger swells.
It doesn't get better than that.
