Wind from the SW (knots)
        gusts: 18
Rated a 4 of 10

Sail: NP Saber 6.2 2005, NP Saber 7.2 2005
Fin: Drake Freeride 320
Suit: Short sleeve.

Wife took kids and two friends for a windsurfing lesson at the MadLoop Windsurfing school. Bit too windy perhaps, but they enjoyed. I came later to see their progress, but was a bit too late to actually see them.

My wife had a go as well this time, but the wind was just too gusty. I first started with the 7.2, but it was just too gusty so I tried the smaller board and sail, but even that didn't work. The gusts were fine, but in between I was just floating in the water waiting for enough wind to waterstart.
