It wasn't as good as it looked either you'd pick up a good gust then come blasting out of it into quite sizeable holes, I know I had to do some major chinups on the boom to save falling into the water when it happened.
Everybody got handed a bit of whoopass today.
Myself at the beginning of the front when it went 30-40 with a 6.2 RS4 up Nice big wheelie then cartwheeling catapult.
The worst was when I changed down just connected the SX XS to my 4.9m sail and this white wall comes in at just shy of 50knots. The rain came in horizontal and hard, boards and sails laying down were launched and cartwheeled over the shore. We just had to sit it out holding down the gear for about 15mins.
It was most concerning thinking about the boys in the water, who all thankfully came back unscathed.
It was a shame the wind direction changed so drastically (90 deg) from the ideal direction as the stronger breezes were what we were waiting for all morning.
Still it was a great day out, congrats to the Hardieman on his PB's
