Windsurfing: Draycote Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 20knts Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Started with the 8m!! Way too much power even ignoring the fact that i'm
just getting back into this game. Still really struggling getting both feet
into the straps, the front one not to bad but as soon as i even consider
the back foot i either screw up into wind or get catapaluted when i lift
the back foot up.Took ages getting back to shore, too much sail up. Went
for the 6.5m which was immediately alot better, having spoken to one of the
local lads i raised the boom level a little and lengthened the harness
lines in an attempt to find that suspended feeling, was a bit better but
think i need to raise it even further. Is this a good idea? Any advice at
this point very much welcomed!! Anyway managed a few stonking reaches (felt
like it to me anyway?) before having to de rig in a mad rush so i could
pick up the nipper. I will master this bloody sport one day!!
