Second attempt to windsurf this year, the first was thwarted on New Years
Day after I got changed into my wetsuit first (it was raining) only to find
I'd left all my masts in the garage.
Got to the beach as the wind was swinging from W to SW and rigged a 5.4 as
the guys from Reactive were just heading out on that size. Decided to wait
a until it filled in as they were wobbling most of the time. Eventually
headed out but it was still a little light but you could see the swirl of
cloud on the horizon that signalled the approaching low.
After a lunch break the wind kicked in and I was pretty well stacked in a
short space of time. Didn't try anything fancy as it was my first time out
since Maui and I was feeling the cold, just stuck to big floaty jumps off
the increasing ramps and fast gybes.
Good first session for the year, but a little crowded.
