Distance Covered:

I conveniently managed to get away about half 1 from my meeting at nearby RAF Valley so straight over to Rhossy and sneak a windsurfin session in.
Got there and there were 6 other people about to go out. My first time here and the waves looked pretty big and meaty on the right hand side of the bay.
One guy had just come in and was changing
down from a 5.4 as he was overpowered.
The 4.7 it was then.
I ended up buyin some new harness lines from the shop, rigged up and got out.
I was overpowered from the word go so it was survival conditions for me trynna hold down the 4.7. It ended up in loadsa catapults and some nice big floaty jumps which were hard to land and landing downwind wasn't an option I was that powered up.
It was gusty as hell which made life in harder so my arms were gone after about an hour.
The wind then died down to a nice steady 30 knots out the back which was ideal and I had some lovely wave rides in but I was really kanckered at this point. The 6 others who were out on sails ranignin from 3.7s up to 4.5's were having a good time as well and there were a few doin backloops and some forwards. cool!
I got too the point where I was stuggling to waterstart as I was that knackered so I came in.
I spent a fair bit of time in the water and my new wetsuit did its job. I never once got cold so stoked with that.
An awesome session, ashame about the gusty conditiions for the first hour otherwise it woulda been an easy 5 star session.
Definatley gonna start makin trips down to Rhossy.
