| Board: | 125 litres |
| Sail: | 6.5 |
Had 3 hours or so down at Poole Harbour this morning
Got in a few decent runs on my Rocket with a Ezzy 6.5
Quite windy at times, but got a bit flukey about 12 noon
As I was packing up it then got windy again
Great to see so many people down there, there were more Windsurfers than tea baggers, which is good to see!

| Sail: | 3.9 |
Just back from our Summer Hols over in Fuerteventura.
Whilst over there I managed to get 3 hours down at the 'World Famous' Sotavento beach.
I had an absolute blast, over powered with a 3.9 and a 130 litre board, (the only Board they had left!)... and loved every minute of it.
Really busy beach, a safe lagoon/sand bar to stop the off shore wind sending you all the way to the West coast of Africa, crystal clear blue sea, the stuff of dreams.
Well worth the visit.
Next time I'm going to stay at Sotavento the week!

Had a couple of hours with my 15 year old Daughter 'teaching' her the art of Beach starts.
She did well for only her 2nd time on a Board.
It was quite windy and a lot of people were out on the water, 6.0 meter weather I guess.
The good thing is, she still wants to go Windsurfing again, so keeping up the training as much as possible. Got to get the 'young ones' involved in such a great sport.

Most kids are going straight into teabagging so good on ya for keeping her on the straight and narrow. This sport definitely needs some young blood.

Very true, too many of the younger generation are being drawn to te dark side (teabagging) ...
This T15 idea seems a good way to go for youngetsrs. There was quite a few down at Sandbanks today...
Think the Waterports Acadamy help out.

Had a couple of hours of windy madness down at Sandbanks Saturday, which is the 2nd Saturday in a row for me.
A strong S/W wind, really gusty at times. Lots a people on the water, good to see so many others out Windsurfing.
Needed to get in the straps quick to have any chance of staying on!
Great stuff... may the good old British 'summer time' continue!
