No 20 Wing 5 - 20kts NW Teralba, NSW, AU

I deliberately didn't put any windsurfing gear in as the forecast was for 10 -15 /17kts. When I 1st got there it was 20-25kts + in the middle and very consistent 15-20 near the shore.

I figured it was too much for a learner but inflated the wing and practised on the shore. That didn't seem too radical so I got everything rigged and went out.

I stayed up in the bay and didn't venture out into the worst of it although I got some strong stuff. 

 I just practised taxiing and wing control. I'm managing to turn by  shuffling around at each end a bit and I don't fall in as much.

 Came in for a rest and then another short burst where I went out further. I was getting tired and falling in so called it.

 I had a few goes at bearing off and trying to get speed.

 I'm feeling much more comfortable on it now . It's certainly much easier on a wing in the crappy conditions at Teralba. 

27 degrees air temp although still winter wettie conditions.

Paul on windfoil and c 6 other wings.
