Another 4.7 day. I started with rigging the 5.2 but that was simply too much. So got the 4.7 and that was pretty good. Only problem was that the wind dropped at times, so back in the water until it start blowing again. Had some nice jumps, jybing proved impossible. Basically I spend my time getting to learn my 80 litre board better. Much more able to stay on the board even when the wind was dropping, as long as I'm moving, I can now stay on the board. And an 80 litre board is very enjoyable in these conditions. Lots of control. Pity the water is still so cold. Got painful cramp attack in my left calf again, probably from the cold or perhaps my suite is a bit too tight? | ||
