First day of summer so beach time :)
Forecast gave 10-15 knots NE so was optimistic of some windsurf action ...
Got to beach midday, wasn't a lot of wind but the whitecaps were visible ... Decided to get a feel for the wind on the SUP and have a bit of a workout into the bargain. Was pretty tricky with choppy swell running and almost enough wind to be fun on windsurf kit.
Had couple shifts in SUP mode, then a spin on Gavalaars 11'5 kona and 6.0m without bothering with harness etc and nearly got it planing. Messed about a bit ... Front to sail, spinny sail, clew first, and couple wet moments just to keep it real ;)
Back out on SUP for bit more core and Achilles workout before packing up for home.
Nice to see few more coming out from hibernation to windsurf too.
Fun in the sun, happy daze
