Breezy one

Mother Nature has finally kicked in good and proper. 52 knots today, perfectly side shore. That's more than 50 miles an hour for you non-marine types! For the rest of, that's a Force 9, "Strong gale slight structural damage occurs, trees uprooted and slates removed". Still, a bit windy for most people, but we decided to brave it... With the media hyping up crazy storms and 60 mile an hour gusts, I pulled the new 76 Tri out the pickup rigged up my smallest kit, said a few farewells to loved ones and hit the water. Bloody hell that was windy. It started off just about manageable, but then the wind really picked up and it was just stupid. No more cobwebs....
Spanked, slapped and spanked again! hey but it was fun!!!
Mother nature wins. Completely spanked and pretty much blown off the water in the end, but this session definitely ranks as one of the best high wind Vazon wave sails I have ever had, a little much during the 50 knot/force 9 squalls. Good fun sail that looked very uninspiring when I got down there.. Went home happy. This week has been super windy but unfortunately a lot of rain has been on the menu.  I had three good wave sessions which were actually the first proper days down the line that I got in this year. The Tri Wave works great and I'm very happy with the way it's wave riding and jumping. Anyway here are a few more pics from this weeks sailing thanks to http://www.gsyphoto.com/ and Olly...

Nice way to finish 2013 and looks like a windsurfing session could be on the cards for after Christmas and the start of 2014. Happy Xmas everyone....
