Windsurfing: El Medano Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Scorchio!!! Sea Temperature: Weather: WTW sunshine :) Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Scorchioso again in the morning :-> but feck all wind. By midday a few were
out on 7m+ semi planing but then the Medano effect suddenly kicked in so I
hot-footed it to the OTC. 5.7s appeared to be the size of choice however I
was keen to try a Severne and the only one available was a Gator 6.0. So
this was plugged into the Tabou 3s 87 and yay result perfect combo! The
sail was a cracker - full power all the way but really stable and also
light/manoueverable allowing another 3 hours of hot and sunny blasting joy.
I tried lots of FSWs this afternoon to try and work out which is my
favourite with a view to a purchase some time next year to replace my
knackered Fanatic Freewave 96. The Tabou definitely jumped up the list
today, probably above the RRD which is a great board but a bit like sailing
a sofa. The problem with the Tabou is that it's a bit slow both to plane
and in a straight line which are important qualities for a FSW. Hmmm
decisions...
