Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 20-25 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 21ºC Sea Temperature: 17ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Maxed out on my 5.7m with my new 90 litre Mistral Heat and 23cm fin. Mark
was ut and well powered on a 5m and his 72 litre wave board, but my 5m is
still being repaired. It was OK though as the water was flat, so hanging on
to the big sail was OK.
As good as it gets really, mad flat water blasting with two other people
out, just going as fast as we possibly could, often in close proximity to
each other and showering each other with spray. Loads of flat out gybes as
well. The water in the lee of the sand bank was mirror smooth allowing for
some mad speed runs.
The board seems OK, not the fastest board arounbd, but thats because its a
wave board. It seems pretty smooth around the corners though and tends to
sail with its nose in the air... It does have a fair bit of both nose and
tail rocker.
Only 4 stars though as despite the speed, the good conditions and the
sunshine, it was flat water!
