Quite happy with my windsurfing today. Second time on the wave board, felt like I had a bit more work to do then the first time, but later it went somewhat better.

Harness lines were setup pretty good, could ride the board without using my arms, lots of control. Most guys gave up quickly, the wind is too strong for normal conditions and it was just too much for the people on the 100 litre boards and 5.0 or larger sails. But I felt fine.

Jibing didn't go well, made almost one, but fell off after the turn, these are of course not the conditions to learn to jibe. Jumping also didn't go that well, not even sure I got the board out of the water once.

Another 25 knots tomorrow!
