Went out on the wave board and 5.3 at 10 o'clock. Nicely powered for about an hour and a half, then the wind went gusty.
After messing about in the gusts for a couple of hours, I got around to rigging a bigger sail. The wind turned more onshore and stayed pretty constant, which was just perfect for the 6.2.
Got off the water at 5 o'clock absolutley knackered.
Where were all the windsurfers today? Over 20 kites out and just me windsurfing.


Sorry Steve... I was on the Isle of Man.... gorgeous sunshine and 25-30 knots all day long... I was to ill to go and play though. Could hardly breathe so missed out on a perfect day.

Hey Al,sounds like you missed out on a awesome day.

I hope your feeling better though?.

Steve,glad you had a awesome day.It must have been great being the only windsurfer out in the water.

Cheers,
A couple of days of due to ilness isn't too bad, but when its sunny and 25 knots plus it is a little difficult!... Still, I felt better by yesterday and it was still sunny and blowing 25 knots in the morning then 35 knots in the afternoon... Broke my 5m sail just in time as I was getting overpowered with that so went out with the 4.5m instead from a pretty sketchy launch spot off some rocks on a headland.

Doesn't look so good for the rest of the week though.
