Took a days holiday today as was feeling down. Decided to go windsurfing to cheer myself up. Was on the water from about 2 until 4.30. Used the 8m Noa and the techno. Wind wasn't up to much really, could not even get planing. Bollocks, wy is it that whenever I go windsurfing I always just need 5 more knots of summit. Anyway was nice out and there were about three other people out windsurfing. Only fell in once and this was only because my outhaul came undone. apart from that, I kept my hat dry. Was trying to get more power from the sail by making adjustments to it. Letting out the outhaul slightly gave me more power. I also reduced the downhaul slightly but this seemed to have no effect. Wind was onshore as well which was a bit of a pain but not so bad really. Anyway, didn't do anything new. Am thinking of buying one of the 2006 X-Cite Rides (JP), the 135 litre one. Watch this space :)
