The guys were right to bail when it got too windy at the mid. I went out with the 3.7 and was still massively overpowered. It got even windier!

Did a big back injury and now going to miss out on 4 days of good windsurfing. Took me 1/2 hour to put the clothes on this morning! Might do some filming if I can walk properly by the weekend.

Did that injury happen when your sail slammed you in the car park? You know its windy when Ty's sailing a 3.3m.

What are you trying to say...next you will tell me I look like a seal.ha ha
I think Geoff injury come from walking up and down the hill changing sails
The pin down was funny,sorry Geoff.UFC in the carpark with the sail ending up to be champion of the world

It was a humbling experience. I think the back was weakened by being slammed a few times (including in the car park), many walks up and down the hill followed by a death jibe. It was a painfull but valuable lesson. I rigged too big - many times over!
