Premantura!

Windsurfing finally!!!

I do not know why, but I decided to try softer top part of the mast in my otherwise perfect 6.0. I just wanted to know if it will be even better in big chop and waves (more twist). The result was simply awful. Sail was much worse in every aspect, missing this turboboost and very unstable in the gusts :( I am so sorry that I was to lazy to rerig to proper mast.

But it was so nice to be on the water again. Some 20-25 knots, big chop/waves/swell all mixed together. I checked the small islands around Premantura but there was no flat water anywhere. So I just went for speed in chop. I felt very self confident, but my tired body did not feel the same, so this resulted in probably the biggest catapult in last few years. I was so lucky that I had my impact vest. I think it saved my ribs :)
