27th February 2004
Windsurfing: Lagoon, Dahab Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 4 Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: Hot Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Becky sat on the tower and said she would video us doing carve gybes. But
the wind had other ideas...
I was on a XXX139 with a 6.2 but was generally underpowered with odd
moments of vastly overpowered...
Sarah was on a XXX119 with a 5.8 and was in pretty much the same state. She
swapped with Becky (OK for some) and took the 170 with a 5.9 and started to
get going much better, planing and gybing on the inside.
I went in and changed up to a 150 with a 6.6 and came blasting back to the
lagoon and gybed on that first reach. As we were now having much more fun
we stayed out after the video session for a bit more blasting and gybe
practise, trying to carve further round the turn as Becky had suggested.
Then it was time for the video review...
We all got tips to help us with our gybes - it's amazing how the video
helps you to see what you are doing wrong over and over again...
The highlight of the whole video was Jane's perfect stance - although
later on Ian told us that it is his stance not Jane's due to all his
coaching - Jane seemed to think she should at least get some credit ;o) We
were all waiting for her to gybe on the video but she just kept stepping
off - she set up perfectly for the gybe and then just - got off...
Another great day.
