Just a few quick clips from today’s windsurf session<\/a>. I had some sort of lurgy yesterday so didn’t feel 100%. In fact, I wasn’t going to do much today. After doing some chores and covering the Christmas cake with marzipan (two layers!) I took a stroll over to the beach. It was blowing a hoolie, the sun was shining and at around 7\u00baC it was feeling quite chilly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was also looking perfect for a windsurf session so I just couldn’t resist it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back at home I was soon into my wetsuit, had my wheelbarrow loaded up and was heading back to the beach. I rigged my 4m sail and my little wave board and soon joined Colin who had just gone out kitesurfing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I probably should have riged my 4.5m sail really. It was fine with the 4m but there were some big holes in the wind. The 4m sail is pretty twitchy at the best of times, but it can be quite a handful when the wind is a little too gusty. It was fine but the 4.5m would have given me more range I think and would have evened things out a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, I can’t complain as the sun was shining it didn’t feel cold and I had the beach to myself as Colin had headed off into the estuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
