8th, 9th and 10th June brought fabulous conditions for wind driven watersports! The Easterly wind was stronger than xcweather's forecast on Thursday and Friday. The sun shone throughout, with temperature in the high teens Thursday, mid-20s Friday and 30C on Saturday! Windsurf sails were generally around 6.5m on Thursday, 4.5 to 5.8m on Friday and 6.5 to 7.5m Saturday. It rarely gets better! And it's so good to see how much our wingfoilers have improved in the roughly 2 years since taking it up! Chris is very consistent, Gabby is now gybing and can ride a run switch stance and Geoff is up on the foil and keeping it impressively level. Here are some photos from Friday 9th and Saturday 10th June when 10 to 14 sailors were on the water at various times.
