Bora brutalis! I came in 08:00 and measured 40 knots of wind on the shore. White dust on the water. However, again wrong direction - pure north, and gusty as hell. This was first time this year that I used 5,5 sail. I could not handle it in gusts (probably up to 50 knots, or even more, with hammer like strikes). And in holes (long ones), the board was to small. All in all, it was more survival game than sailing. No truns. Managed somohew to make just one remotely decent speed run, the rest was just hopelesly upwind sailing and trying to stay alive when bora was really angry.
Around 10:00 wind stoped, so I have to swimm back. Around 11:00 started again, better and constant. Unfortunately, it was time for me to leave (uh, how I wished to stay - it was perfect for, let's say, 7,0 and 111).
Sorry boyz, nothing more from me this days. Hope you will enjoy the wind tomorow and make some good numbers!
