That was a long time ago I went out windsurfing. Didn't have enough work for a while and I don't feel windsurfing when I have monetary troubles, but received quite some work recently, so glad to be out there again. Had a bit of trouble with my jibes, but after a while hit a lot of them. None carving really, but at least fairly consistent jibing. So hopefully I'll hit that carving jibe one day.

Also tried to jump of the chop, which is improving. Not sure I got the fin out of the water, but I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Was pretty busy at Bucklands Beach. At least 10 windsurfers if not more.
