Great sailing today, guys! 5 windsurfers out and no-one else in sight. Turned out to be quite an impressive SW! I measured avg 29 knots gusting to 34 when I arrived and I'm pretty sure it picked up and was certainly stronger over the sea.
4.5 fully (yes, til the rope breaks, mr C) downhauled still pretty overpowered and gybes out the back were tricky but in the end we sailed N of the rocks and it was pretty smooth on the inside.
Jumps were easy to find but I'm so nervous of breaking boards that mine are a bit pansy. Saw a couple of decent loops and some good stuff from the other guys. I'm not mentioning names here because I'm never sure how legit these work-time sails are for some participants!
Waverides tricky in the overpowered conditions but all in all a great sail. Thanks guys, I needed that one! Looking forward to the next.
