Mad mad mad!!!!
Went to the estuary first where Nick and Mark were out on 5.5 m sails in
the flat water. I decided it looked a bit too tame and gusty in there so
headed off to the seafront. Chris was out kiting and had been out on his
12m, but was just changing down to a 5m kite as the wind was picking up.
I rigged my 5m and my wave board and got out there. I was nicely powered up
and having fun. Unfortunately (or is it fortunately), the wind had swung
around to WNW rather than WSW, so I didn't try any forwards. Nick then
joined me with his 4.5m but was struggling in the waves. I was having a
good time though with some nice fast runs between the waves and some nice
jumps.
After a while, Chris packed up as the wind was now around 30 knots, and a
little later I decided to change down to a 4.5m By the time I had, the wind
was around 40 knots and even that was too much. I did have a few fun runs
totally overpowered though. AJDESQ turned up, but it was just too windy for
him to go out. I couldn't be bothered to rig my 3.4m sail so packed up and
went home.
Its not often that its too windy to sail in the summer, but its certainly
blowing a hoolie out there today!
