Ivor delivered the goods again!

Didn't look too promising at first as the wind eased off around 6 am and was really gusty first thing in the morning but the wind filled in around 10am so I went out with my 5.6m and the S-Type. Had a nice blast on that but the wind continued to increase and soon it became quite a handful and then far too much so I changed down to my 5m and Naish.

Should really have rigged the 4.5m as even that was a little too much now and I did contemplate changing down again and getting my little wave board too, but held onto the bigger kit.

Quite a few other people were out too (10 windsurfers at one point), mainly on 4-4.5m sails and all were well powered.

The wind then went mad later in the afternoon with gusts to 50 knots and probably a bit more. Glad I went out when I did and I'll make sure I take my 4m and little board with me tomorrow.
