What the hell happened with the weather today?
I had my stand up paddle board ready to go for a surf after work this arvo. When I got down to the beach I was kinda bummed to see that it was onshore. But at a second look I swear it was a seabreeze? I sure as hell didnt want to paddle around in windy choppy waves. So I raced home and grabbed my windsurfing gear and raced back to the beach.
A little under powered but planned most of the time still managing to stay upwind and get a few waves.
I used my new Gopro but forgot to put Rainox on the housing to stop the water drops. Anyway... hope you enjoy the photos and vid.

Sorry about the music. It was after midnight Friday when I put it together

Hey Greenie,

if I am not mistaken that track is "Alarma" by 666 circa 1998 on the Groove Nation label?

Yeah thats the one. I had a work van for a week because the bloke who usually drives it went on holidays. I found 666 in the glove box and decided to burn it. Some cool tracks

I use an 86L Fish and a 5.7m sail.
If its a steady 15 knots, I can plane

Yeah the 86L Fish is still the best light wind board. I use a 5.7m with this board and can get out in the waves in 15-20 knots.
I also have the 76L Fish for those 18-23 knot days.
But my board of choice for winds 20-30 knots is the 70L Evo.
The last few years I have been riding them and love them too.
But this year I have the 71L Quad Convertable.
