Arrrgh me hearties, where's me buccaneers?.... Yes, I know- on my......
After seeing the success of the sandstone seabreesers topic I thought I might start and hopefully contribute to the news and advancement of the sport here.
I realise that there are many of you who have lived, sailed and contributed to the sport here so I thought we could compile our experiences, bps, news and results of our days sailing and hopefully tempt others into the sport.
So I'll begin
Arrrgh me hearties,
Sailed today on a falling tide at 3.30 at Thompsons on an old Thommon and 9.0 NCX and was on the plane 20% of the time.. Anyone else sailed there earlier today?

I have been windsurfing for just on eight weeks now - trying to get out as much as possible - have had two weeks off work and have been out a few times.

I generally get to Wello and have met some really nice people - windsurfing people seem to be very friendly - it certainly helps when you feel, man I am just going to sell the board Too Hard!

I am 105k - purchased a 200l mistral pacifico with a dodgy retro 4.5m sail and rig, was enough to get me going - I did purchase a new Severne 6m synergy this week from Simon at Board Crazy and have been out once so far - wow what a difference. Not sure if it my imagination but it seemed to be more forgiving - or maybe I am getting better perhaps a bit of both. Took it to the train and had a really good run to the sand bank and back a few times. Arms are canning now though next it has to be the harness.




Do feel as though I have progressed but soooooo much more to learn. The Windsurfing learning curve seems to be a long slow curve. I have bought beginner to winner and have watched it and will watch it again and even on this video he says to get lessons as you go.

Anyway out again today - I think it is time to have a go at the harness again with my new rig

Cheers
Morgan
