AlfaMale (18459km):
823 days ago Made it out on Boxing day to keep up my personal tradition ! I haven't kept a diary but feels like about 31/36 years I have had a windsurf since starting out all those years ago.
Good to sail with Mates... Baz and Conan turned up with some other holiday sailors out on boards, windwings and kites (or jetskis - and well behaved).
Tried the long fuselage today. Certainly helped with gybing, made my first flying gybe on the 337, I think the 20kt alpha even had some touchdowns.
But the front wing had a little [lot!] TOO powerful especially at 30kts. Not recommended except maybe in light wind race days.
- F4 337, 115+10 fuselage, 190 tail no shim. Mast at 2. Base at 136 but needed 138
- FMX 91
- Maui Sails 7.0 and 6.3. Definately prefer the SkyBlade 7 as the slalom sails seem to bounce around in the gusts too much.
Raced the police, and won! Always fun going faster than the fuzz. And Fez.
Raced Baz and almost won, but hey to finish first, first you have to finish.
