Five Six from the West


Wind just doesn't seem to be backing off, and scored another solid day of windsurfing. Dan pushing a shove-it or perhaps just going for a goiter (many thanks Carl L for photo duty). What a great day; blue skies, solid Five/Six and some full-on onshore riding. Perhaps return for evening session at the mouth. Excellent forecast for tomorrow.
Picture below is yours truly - trying out my new 30inch lines and lovely boom. Ohh the joy. Aeron make lovely booms !

Under-powered Howard


Snuck out for a dusk session, and Andy came down to shoot some photos. Sadly I chose the wrong sail and just thought it best to soldier on. I should have been on 5.2 but went for 4.5, as a result, only powered up for 50% of the time. It was a tough call, but as the light faded, I just persisted rather than mess around with changing sails. Superstition would have me believe that because I didn't take advantage of yesterdays conditions, I didn't deserve to get the best of today.
