Distance Covered:

Back out after breakfast and by now the kiters had turned up at the beach along with a few other windsurfers and the wind gone dead onshore and picked up. I went out with the 5.7m again although would have much preferred to have been on a 5m (unfortunately its broken!). Everyone else was on 4.7-5.2m sails and having a good time. I still had a good session despite being overpowered, but at least in the dead onshore wind I could just blast up and down in the shallows and not have to do batle with the big waves out the back.

I made loads of really good fully planing gybes though, mainly due to the huge speed I had on entry to them, bearing away overpowered. After a while, the wind dropped a little and went NW, so I was nicely powered up whilst everyone else struggled. I had a few good wave rides whilst the wind was in that direction, before calling it a day. The wind soon filled in again and the sun came out though...So I might go out again later!
