Went to the estuary around midday and rigged my 6.3m North Warp - That in itself was a struggle and it took three of us to do it. By the time we had, the water had gone from the estuary so I stood around for a while decided there wasn't enough water so packed up and headed home - the curse of the Speed kit once again.

I went back down at 3ish and despite the fact that the anemometer was only reading 6-16 knots on the beach it looked windy enough on the water and there was at least some water now.

I rigged my 6.3m North Warp again - this time on my own along with my 80 ltr Mistral SL Red Dot. It was only just enough to start with so I sailed out through the channel and over towards Aberdovey. Out there, with the wind against the tide it was OK. I then headed back into the estuary where now the wind felt better.

Plenty of nice, well powered runs and the sail feels lovely. So stable it feels as though I could hang onto it whatever the wind strength. The board was fine too, although the conditions were very choppy most of the time and the wind was in the wrong direction for any proper speed runs.

I changed down to my tiny little Fanatic Falcon Speed for a few runs towards the end as well - That will be a missle when the conditions are right.
