15th September 2003 Windsurfing: Jericoacoara, Brazil Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: 25-30 knots Surf / Sea State: Flat/swell on outside Air Temperature: Scorchio! Sea Temperature: Scorchio! Weather: Mucho Sol Max Speed: Distance Covered: One of those great sessions when the kit you are on matches up perfectly with the conditions. Windier than yesterday, and perfectly powered up for 90% of the time on my 4.6. The board and fin as well were just the right size for the wind/water state, so was really comfortable sailing the kit I was on hence meaning I could concentrate fully on what I wanted to do. Generally a good session in terms of performance. Took Tommo's advice of moving the mast-foot forwards in the track to help me get upwind, and it seemed to work. Couldn't gybe for toffee on the outside, so stopped trying after a while and attempted slam gybes instead, but gybes on the inside were peachy, and was inches away from planing out of a couple. As usual, a smattering of big jumps were thrown in to the session as well to spice things up. Also attempted a few body-drags when coming in, with limited success, but will defo try them again before I leave. Unfortunately the waves were small/non-existent, so not much chance for wave-riding today, or for any big vertical jumps on the way out either. But no matter - it didn't take anything away from the session really. Great to have an enjoyable session again to restore my faith in windsurfing after the very disappointing efforts of the last couple of days. |
