15th January 2017
Windsurfing: El Medano, Tenerife
Wind Direction: NE
Wind Stength: F4 & F5
Surf / Sea State: chop
Air Temperature: 20.5 - 22.4
Sea Temperature: 19
Weather: cloud then sun
Max Speed: 22.7/2secs (knots - unless stated otherwise)
Distance Covered: 27 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)

Once cloud cleared wind came up in afternoon, though put full 4/3 suit as standing around in prolonged lulls as clouds came by. Sea quite choppy. Got close to harbor wall as wind climbed but started to decrease for a while and didn't look good anyway. Also noticed split in board near front, guess from wave lifting board against mast in surf. No wind forecast so at least I can dry board out.
Sailing 96l with 6m and tried single 29cm fin, single 25cm fin and 25cm with with two side fins. Latter was best overall combination and 29cm too big, 25cm did not lift onto plane and adding thrusters brought onto plane more easily and helped planing through gybes. A couple of nice gybes off swells on the outside, but mostly it was chop..
