Weeks of no wind, so I was glad I had the opportunity to leave work early and have a session. Excellent wind for my 7.2. Board was of course too big for the waves, so had a rough ride sometimes. Could have used my Carve 99 I'm sure, but I still don't have a 6.2. The shop doesn't have 430 masts, NP just doesn't deliver them, arggh.

None of my jibes succeeded, the waves were too rough. Got half way most of the time.

It seems windsurfing with a full wetsuite is more tiring. Somehow it's a bit tight, doesn't get all the oxygen to the muscles. But the suit fits, is perhaps even slightly bigger than necessary. Hope I can get into the short sleeves soon.
