My first time windsurfing at Queen Mary. Turned up in a rain shower to find loads out on 6.5m\'s, umm\'ed and err\'ed a lot before coughing up my tenner. I rigged my 6.5m and went out but was way overpowered as wind had picked up, changed down to 5m and had a few good runs. I really should have rigged my 4.5m but couldnt be bothered so persisted with the 5m. Did lots of waterstarts which is good but didnt managed one tack or gybe without falling in. Also really struggled getting the back foot in the straps as my heal ends up dragging in the water or I feel like I am going to be catapulted forwards when I lift my rear foot to slip it in. Need to work on this in nice flat water.

Impressed with QM, friendly people and good direction in a SW as could blast over to the spit and turn round and head back.
