Today was looping day.
After doing a "looping clinic" on the beach in light winds with Lucy and
several others the day before, the talk was talked and the gauntlet thrown
down. Many tips were exchanged, and we were all saying we'd go for it on
the next windy day...
...and we all did!
Quite a few of us sailed out and looped off the first wave on the first run
- none sailed away, but my first was landed with the sail still in my hands
and flying, and a quick waterstart away took me to the next wave for
another go (not so successful!). Two attempts on the first run really
psyched me up for the day, and many others did much the same.
Part 2 was "meet on the beach at 12:00", where we divided into two groups
of 4 and took it in turns to do 10-minute runs. Many more loops were
attempted by everyone - some for the first ever time. Serious respect to
everyone for trying, and for no-one bottling it!
After a knackering first hour, the rest of the day was devoted to
wavesailing, which was also pretty good.
One of my top sessions of all time!
