Windsurfing: Blithfield Wind Direction: WNW Wind Stength: F4 Surf / Sea State: Small chop Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Warm Weather: Sun / cloud Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Well powered on 6.7m most of the time. Tried chop hops hooked in which
saves a lot of energy having to hook out and in again. Experimented with
gybes by bearing away for longer to make sure I was up to speed before
starting to carve and then sheeting in harder. This worked well so long as
the wind was up - the sail went lighter and then sheeting in really made
the board bite through the turn. No good in the lulls - sheeting in just
killed the power - tricky business gybing consistently.
A great afternoon and lots of windsurfers out.
