Mood: waiting for wind

Windsurfing: Eastbourne Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: flat with some bumps Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: fine Weather: pretty good, sunny & windy !! Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Early session for me at Eastbourne Extreme, on the water before 7am on
Rocket 125 with 7.4m Remedy. Wind was a bit twitchy varying between
cross-shore & cross-off, but a good pre-brekkie 'power-hour'.
Came ashore, did brekkie, rigged 9.8m GTX and the loaned Exocet Formula
Warp anticipating some formula racing ... took for a spin to tweak set up
and sailed like a complete numpty in increasing winds and progressively
lumpier seas as wind picked up. Went back in to make adjustments and got
collared for organisational duties.
As I'd missed race one I helped out with the Surf-Sales demo and took some
time to do some testing of some of the Exocet boards.
As my Rocket was still rigged up, I then decided that I'd use that to go
and check out the rest of the event and Spray Watersports new centre which
looks fab.
Had a really good day windsurfing, but managed to do no races at all
through various 'tasks' needing doing, plus lending the Formula Warp to new
Exocet rider, Ricky Wooding, mean't I'd lost my ride when I did have chance
to race.
Good to see so many familiar faces at the event, and better still, it was
great to have some wind !
