Summertime Sailing

It may still only be Spring but the sunshine, blue skies and turquoise waters here have made it feel like summer for a few days in April. Who’d have thought this video was shot in Wales!

It’s all happening this weekend

First up, it’s the Dyfi Enduro on Sunday. I’ve known about this for months, but that doesn’t mean that me or my bike is ready for it. However, I can’t get out of it now, I’ll just have to do the best I can and aim to enjoy it. It won’t be helped by the...

Windsurfing at Ynsylas

And just to prove that I have still been windsurfing despite the distinct lack of wind lately, here’s a quick clip of me giving it a go with only just enough wind one morning last week. Conditions were very marginal and I was out on my 80 ltr slalom board and a 6.3m sail. At...

Windsurfing at Ynyslas

Just a quick video clip of me windsurfing this morning at Ynyslas. I was out on my 4.5m sail and little JP Wave Board, although I probably should have rigged the slightly larger 5m sail as there were times when I wasn’t quite powered up enough – This resulted in a bit of a swim...

Windy Miller!

I’ve just got back from a nice morning windsurf. Nothing too spectacular as my 4.5m sail and little board wasn’t quite big enough so I took some rinsings in the lulls and had one pretty big swim too. On one occasion I had a monster wipeout got rinsed around for a while, held under for...

Back out on the water

There’s been some wind again the last few days. It’s normally very windy here all the time, but so far this year there hasn’t been a huge amount and when there has been I’ve either been away, busy with something else or unable to get out windsurfing for some other reason. This week has been...

Forward Loop Crash

Well, if I learnt one thing today, its that slightly over-rotated forward loops can hurt quite a bit! All was going well, the wind was blowing, the waves were pretty big and I was out for a sail all on my own with my little JP Wave board and a 4.5m sail. First run out...

Jumping and Gybing

It looks as though February could be a windy month. It’s started off well with the weather station recording 43 knots yesterday, and despite still feeling a little unwell I have of course been out windsurfing. I’m not feeling that bad, but do have a sore throat and chest so I haven’t exactly been feeling...

You Can Teach an Old Dog New Tricks

It may have been my 40th birthday at the weekend, but I’ve just got back from the first windsurf session of my 40’s and I’ve just got back from landing my first ever push loop! Better still, Tom was on the water too and saw it so I did actually do it and wasn’t imagining...
