Windsurfing: El Medano, Tenerife Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: F6 Surf / Sea State: chop then smoother Air Temperature: 22 Sea Temperature: 19 Weather: sun Max Speed: 24.1/2secs (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 37.4 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
On the water a bit before 11 on 86l tri set up with flattened 5.2m as wind
forecast to drop a bit. Overpowered at times and would have been better on
4.7m until 2pm, then 5,2m but I kept 5,2m all the time. Sea choppy, even by
harbour wall (high tide) and smoothed as tide dropped. I sailed until 3pm
and then tired. After 1:20 hours tried quad set up and board set better in
water but falling in on some gybes and trying too tight. Moved back fins to
front of box leaving outer ones in middle and much better for South Bay.
Quad goes up wind even better and handles chop better when over powered,
but does like long turns unless middle fins foreward. Several small
jumps
Some logo swells to gybe off. Good fun. Best day yet. Wind decreased around
3pm and too tired to rig 6m. Not quite 5* as sailing too overpowered. Great
day
