Epic 3 days|Sailing Experiences|Forums|Hickling Windsurfing Club

I like a few others were lucky to be able to take advantage of the last three days wind.  While people were loosing shed roofs and fences we were ripping it up on 4.0m sails!

Friday was out on a 5.0m and 81l wave board and sailed for about 3 hours.  Very constant wind and perfect conditions .  Well done for Darren making it past the point to join me, though I think it was his first time being over powered on a 5.25!

Saturday got another classic day and sailed for 2 hours.  Went out on the 5 again but after about 2 runs had to swap to the 4.0m as there were some brutal gusts out back hitting about 50mph.  Never had a day like it sailing a 4.0m in that much constant wind.  At times a 3.0m would have done the job!

Sunday was a bit of a let down with very gusty conditions. Went out on 5.7m and 93l FSW but the wind was very on and off with the gusts being well spaced out.  Gave up after an hour, guess was spoilt with the two days before.

Now back at work in a bit of pain!

Still any wind next weekend?
