Suffered a bit with chilly temps but had couple good sessions, separated by brief refreshment interlude.
Winds was pretty light when got there, and was all for rigging 5.8m Poison on demo Exocet Cross 106 I had in the van, but was soon thinking 5.3m Manic on it would be better as could plug that into Pocket Wave 78 if it all got up as forecast.
As it turned out, wind filled in quicker than we thought, although it was bang on cue according to forecast, so went 4.7m Manic and Pocket 78 from the outset.
Struggled a bit at first, but headed up into Little Maui and it all improved due to lack of rip on the inside up that end. Improved further when I tweaked the X-Lace footstraps so I could properly get my booted feet into them!
After the break the tide was heading to France at a rate of knots, but sailed better after taking on some fluids and a snack bar. Binned it about 4pm as was feeling cold, and must've looked cold too as a couple of the guys asked me if I was cold !!
Cracking day of sport all things told, a decent day's windsurfing, Wales take the Triple Crown, Scotland beat England to put Wales in pole position for the Grand Slam, ManU & Chelsea dumped out of FA Cup, and then Sunday, my old man's side, Cardiff, go through to the semi's ....
Must've had a good day saturday as I washed my new co van, my old windsurf van & the wifes T4 on Sunday ;-)
