In a spur of the moment decision I decided to head for Coniver Grove. It looked windy out there. And indeed, great time at Coniver Grove. A lot of gear would have worked in this wind, big boards down to my 99 liter board. Fairly flat water. Bit of chop, but I don't think I did really pop the board out of the water. Some people can just jump off a ripple, but I still need a bit more.

Only one jibe went really well, most went into the water unfortunately. But blasting across the water was great.
