A lovely surprise after work session. I was goingto go for a bike ride but as I drove through Borth it was clear that it was windy with a lovely blue sky and a blue sea covered in white-caps. I knocked the idea of a bike ride on the head and went windsurfing instead.

I was expecting the wind to drop though as evening approaches (it usually does when an unexpected NW wind arrives int he afternoon) so I took my big board and big sails across to the beach. It was still windy on the beach though so I rigged the smaller 5.7m sail and headed out. As I walked down the beach to the water I was wishing I had my smaller board and maybe even my 5m sail so I added some more outhaul and headed out.

I was straight onto the plane and well powered up, skimming across the choppy waters. The waves were only small windblown affairs that were closely space so it was often a case of jumping off one and clearing the wave behind it before landing. A few of these were obviously mis-timed which resulted in some heavy landings onto the face of the next wave.

Good gybes, plenty of sunshine, some duck gybes attempts and loads of non-stop blasting over the blue waters. Perfect!
