After completely mad winds and rough seas this morning, things calmed down
in the afternoon and Andy I went decided it was managable so went out from
the seafront/ When we rigged winds were around 20 knots so we rigged
5.5(ish) sails and 100 litre boards and go out there. I was first on the
water and made my first run OK out through the waves, then gybed and the
wind dropped so I ended up riding a wave in and got back to the beach a
little way downwind. 10 minutes of struggling to get going and we gave up
for a bit.
Chris turned up and rigged his 17m kite and I thought about changing up to
a 6.5m sail, but just changed to a bigger fin as a squall was approaching.
Chirs quickly rigged his smaller kite and Andy and I got back out there.
This time we were all well powered up and having a great time in the dead
onshore winds. Plenty of power and able to wave-ride and jump on both tacks
and we had a really good time of it. I made loads of really nice fully
planing gybes and quite a few nice jumps too. Then the wind dropped off
again. Andy and I gave up whilst Chris went back out with his 17m.
The powered up bit was well worth waiting for.
