Windier than yesterday. Well powered up on my 4.6, and overpowered for much of the time on the Axxis. Was wishing I was on a wave board today, since after a while it just became a struggle trying to control the Axxis, and not much fun. Whereas a nice small wave board today would have been perfecto.

First went out for an hour at about 11.30am and was sailing well, banging out some good gybes including one on the inside that I just about planed out of, and also making progress with the body drags. Then went for a long lunch, and after that went out again for a couple of hours. But....didn't go as well as in the morning. Was feeling a bit lethargic after lunch, and the moves that were working in the morning weren't going so well any more. After a while got tired and a bit bored/frustrated of just blasting back and forth in the flatter-water conditions, on a board that was too big for the conditions, and not making as many gybes etc as I would like, so gave up at about 4pm and headed straight to the bar.
