Ah, brilliant, brilliant day. And nice to be self employed so I can windsurf during the day, heh!

When I came there, there was another guy, just struggling. But he was on a small sail. I had my 7.2 and the big board and was planing and doing fast runs, amazingly. Board is a bit too big for the conditions, but my iSonic 133 hasn't arrived yet. Might never arrive. I think I'll ask my money back, there seems to be cash flow problems with the importer, sigh. Or I should go for a Carbon Art light wind board.

But anyway, I had a really good time, wind picking up more and more. Did real carving jibes with the board. In the end the wind became too much, so I had to give up, but was getting tired anyway.
