I was a bit too eager on the Sunday to get out so I stood around for a good
hour or so in the cold wind with a damp wetsuit from the day before.
Eventually got out and started of on a Tushingham 6.25 sail. Had a few runs
with that and was overpowered fully sheeting out after 10 mins or so with
the wind picking up, I handed over the kit to Al and went for something
smaller in the anticipation it was going to be howling as forecast. (It
didn't though)
I went out on a 5.0m Tush sail and one of the Starboard 80l boards, was a
good setup but there just wasn't enough wind so it was bloody hard trynna
get going and you had to wait for the gusts coming over the dunes to propel
you back to the launch point. Crap wind direction. Abandoned the idea of
that one and onto some larger kit, think it was the Starboard Carve 94 or
96l, nice board and quick in the gusts!
Again had another good day on the water and it was finished off with a hike
up Cadair Idris with Rachel which kept her please after watching me enjoy
myself on the water.
The Sunday wasn't as good as the Sat but in all a wkd weekend and back into
work for a rest today.
