North Bound...H2O Overdrive

Here on the little island of Guernsey, August, September and October have not been a very windy time of year for us wavesailer's. If windsurfing was a traditional sport, I'd say that our August/September off season is followed up directly with the Playoffs of the winter windy season. It's a feast after famine transition. From an athlete's perspective, it's like showing up to go sailing on 9.0 metre days after weeks of sailing on flat water and then being told that you'll be entering the PWA at Pozo tomorrow night on 3.7's.
This August/September started out quite typical and actually ended with a few more windy days than usual. Then October hit and BAM! It was windy almost everyday for the last two weeks and things were great! So what happened? (Wind way around to the SSE). Vazon just cant handle a SSE wind way to gusty  It's been over four weeks since I've rigged a sail. I even made binding plans last Sunday, my day off, in advance, and even that didn't stir up a tempting gust.
So here we are, starving through the end of October. Hopefully the feast of frontal sailing is on it's way, because I need a fix and soon.

 On the other foot if your a freeride/speed freak there's been some nice days for flat water sailing.We finally had a good thermal pattern last week, but yet again no good for wavesailing but making for some good flat water action catching four windy days over a seven day span.

  Stu Martel sent me this little clip of some action footage out of  Grand Harve. The windsurfing at the North end of the Island is all about speed with its flat water and consistent 18-28 mph offshore breeze ...  Whether your into Speed, Slalom, Racing or just suffer from FMOWS (fastest man on the water syndrome), you just have to be sailing NORTH..... He looked like he's made a good choice in sails.
