Windy all day, but predicted was most wind this afternoon. And the tide would be high at Coniver Grove, the nearest spot for me. So went out this afternoon. Started with the 5.2. Wind was between 17 and 27 knots. Unfortunately as soon as I came stepped in the water the wind mostly died. So went back, get the 6.2, but as I took that out on the water, it started to blow again.

So back to the 5.2 and I stayed in that. Wasn't very nice windsurfing as the wind was just too inconsistent. From nothing to very sudden 30 knot gusts or so. Fell off a couple of times just due to lack of wind. So bit of a struggle, but nice when it blew. Had some nice jumps. One almost carving jibe, but fell off when I came out of it unfortunately.

Was all alone on the watuer, but when I left another person started, but at the opposite side.
