Day 2 of the L3 Course and I started with a review of the video footage from yesterday. Some good teaching points on tacking, flare gybes and stance along with a few laughs. Today was a better direction with cross shore winds from the left but not really planing weather for L3. I got planing a few times on my big kit but decided that it was not enough with the centre kit.

Demoed Flare Gybes and Fast Tacks for everybody to concentrate on before lunch and it was good to see that everybody was making progress. The mood was much more buoyant but that was probably to do with the sunshine.

As the wind dropped in the afternoon I tooke out my 5.4 on a Motion and started a game of follow-my-leader to sharpen those tacks and gybes. I also piqued their interest by throwing in a few heli-tacks and rig 360's, this led onto some freestyle ready for the next day.

All in all a good day but could have done with more wind.
