Europe Nationals at Lancing this weekend - shame there was not more boats. Where were you all as you missed force 4 to 5 on Friday, force 4 yesterday and force 3 today. Everyone is sunburned and exhausted - especially those of us running it. The south coast is a beautiful place when the sun shines and the sea breeze kicks in. and I got to sail my Contender as well. |

Took a board and a paddle out. Massively outpaced anyone using a sail.

I also had an awesome time at carsington for the NSSA nats. We needed more wind than the 7-10 knots we were given to put the 4K through its paces but we had a good time. As we failed in the fast handicap i was happy to come third in mount haes but annoyed as that nice big trophy was so close...

I went out windsurfing today first on a mates old (2000ish) formula board and then on a short board. The formula board was much easier to get going and it got going quite scarily quick at some points but it was starting to get very bouncy off even the little bit of F4 solent chop. Then i crashed, flew round the front of the board, and the damn thing ran me over, smashed up my nose on the pointy end, and then the fin (50 odd cm) smacked me in the ribs, that hurt. After that i tried the short board which was harder to get going but once i got it moving it absolutely flew. It wouldn't point like the formula board but it was very very fast. Then I had to work out how to turn the damn thing round. WHich went wrong. The first time i went for a gybe and stuck the pointy end in and fell off. Then I tried a tack and sunk the stern and the board did a back flip. Somehow i got it turned round though and had another great burn back in. I was still definately feeling the bike ride from yesterday on the way home though. Edited by mike ellis |
