Good consistent winds as Bucklands Beach for a while. NW works as well I found out. Just windsurf south of the sandbar. Had good runs, and made most of my jibes, no carving jibes though. But it's good to know that even with more chop I can now jibe more.

And did my first jump of the back of the wave, well small chop actually!

Harness lines felt perfectly balances, could held the rig without much effort of the arms. At the end the wind started to disappear, but luckily there remained enough to cross the channel.
