Gillis 55/ Leo's weed speed/ KA krx5.8

First windsurf in Canada!!  Hooray!  Pulled on my spanking new 5/4 semi-dry wetsuit and was toasty warm!  Went to Eagle Lake 40mins east of Calgary.  Good lake but a bit smelly with run off from nearby farm land.  Was going to ride the speed gear but was the only one there and the wind started to howl just as I was rigging up so I went conservative on JP FSW 93l, MFC wave fin and 4.5m Gaastra Manic.  It was certainly windy and a lot of fun.  Went for a couple of long runs - looking at my NM tracks there is a good 1.7 NM across the wide point at bottom of lake where I was.  Much further if there was a different wind direction and you could sail the length of the lake.  Wind was basically South with a bit of east in it.

Thought the NM might be faster than this (felt faster) but that probably just the fact I was not on fast equipment...  I think I can crack 40 on some of the lakes near here - they certainly have the wind here - where Chinook gets its name.  I have waterton reservoir, old man dam and Keho Lake to try further south when I get a day free to drive down..  looking forward to that - Keho is supposed to have a speed strip of sorts.
