New Sail Day

After I discovered a big tear in my 5.7m sail the other day it was time for some shopping. A new 5.7m sail was needed and at the same time I thought it was time to update a few other ageing bits of windsurf kit too. I went for a 2019 Gun Sails Horizon. I’ve...

Time for some Shopping

Well, Tuesday’s windsurf session didn’t quite go to plan. As I rigged my 5.7m sail I noticed a big rip in the top of it. By then I was already in my wetsuit, on the beach with all my kit rigged so I decided just to go with it anyway. It’s not ideal sailing with...

Saturday Activities

Just a normal Saturday here really. I was up early so managed to get some work done before Anna got up. The tide was too high to get out on the sea so next up was an hour on the turbo trainer which actually felt quite easy, and then a quick run around Ynyslas. By...

Storm Dennis Windsurfing

didn’t quite manage to get out windsurfing in the midst of Storm Dennis. Time, tides and other commitments just meant it wasn’t quite possible. It had nothing to do with the fact that the hailstones would have hurt, the winds were crazy and it would have been a little scary out there on my own!...

Back to the Old Days

With wind forecast last weekend I thought I’d message Steve and invite him down for a sunny, summer windsurf session, just like the old days! Steve used to come here almost every weekend to windsurf and certainly came when there was some decent wind forecast. I don’t think he’s been windsurfing here for about 4...

Summer Sailing

Just a few quick clips from my windsurf session today as my GoPro was a little misted up, it wasn’t quite set up properly and I can’t be bothered to go through hours of footage looking for the best bits! It was a top notch windsurf session though so hopefully you’ll get the gist from...

An Active Tuesday

That turned out to be a good day. After missing out on some fun yesterday as I was busy with work and other appointments I made up for it today. I was toying with the idea of continuing my Coast Path run but the weather didn’t look like much fun for most of the day...

New Windsurf Transportation

After some catastrophic transport failure at the weekend it was time to splash out on a new vehicle to get my windsurfing kit to the beach. And look what a beauty I got! It’s ‘Lamborghini Yellow’ for a start. Handling should be great thanks to the dual-density moulded grips and with 110ltr capacity it should...

An Afternoon Windsurf

After a nice surf ski paddle in the morning it was back home for pancakes and to see off the horde of 14 year old boys that had been sleeping over for Morgan’s Birthday. There was plenty of pizza leftover from their party and of course sweets and cakes so that had to be finished...

Like the good old days!

Having had a bit of a return to form with some mountain bike downhill records in the morning, I thought that a windsurf was in order today as well. Just like the old days! The wind was howling, the seas were big and the air was a lot warmer than it had been. What else...
