18th April 2003
Windsurfing: borth estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 13 -18 knots Surf / Sea State: wind chop Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived at about 8.30 am for my long weekend at Borth There was only one
person out on the water and they had an ice hockey helmet on so I assumed
it must be Al! and there was a blue toy box parked on the beac.
Said hello's and got rigged up with 112lt techno 263 and 5.8 sail and hit
the water.
Was a bit marginal on the windside but got some nice runs in This was only
the second proper time on a smallish board (normaly sail 150lt board)
Started going for a few gybes and was amazed how easy it turned so amazed
I fell off the first attempt I managed to stay dry on the next few gybes so
I was well Happy. Then I got really really happy! managed a couple of tacks
but they didn't look pretty and I was nearly upto my waist in water
four and ahalf stars for pulling off the gybes and tacks
