Distance Covered:

Another deceptively windy NW day at Blithfield. Rigged 5.8 which was too much at first so came in and rigged 5.3. However the wind appeared to moderate a little and I went back out on 5.8 for a really good session. Worked on chop hops and windy gybing. Noticed that I was sheeting in when trying to hop - no doubt this was contributing to reluctance of board to release and the nose diving once in the air. Hard to break the habit though. Gybing improved by coming forward as the board bears away. Before, I was leaning back and killing the power in the sail. More improvement needed, particularly in chop.

Water is still desperately icy, most unpleasant swimming after kit after bailing out. Great session though.
