The Wind Arrived with force, Paros

20/08/2010 - New Golden Beach, Rigged my 6m then 4.4m +91L, was getting into jumping the new board on the sharp ramps making themselves apparent.  Saw another sea turtle out at sea and managed to lose the Glasses I wore to protect my eyes by launching myself in a huge catapult.  They serve a great 1/2 litre of beer in a frozen glass for 4euros at the Saint George Hotel bar - just what's needed after a great day in the water.  Then we went to a nice restuarant called the Blue Dolphin at new golden beach and had nicely grilled Calamari.

Me coming into the gusty bay of New Golden for a gybe. 


21/08/2010 - Went to Poundta and had one of the best days windsurfing of my life, I finally got to use all my new kit, 4m Neil Pryde (With  the downhaul fully cranked on)  + 91m and even this felt to big to even me on this day.  The wind was great and I was really getting into Jump practise starting to see some real air time.
As ever a great day on the water was followed by another later night in town 7am.

My New kit (fully downhauled to cope with the conditions)
Sand blasting conditions at Poundta
Mat holding down the 4.4m - Fair play, I could only handle one run on it.





22/8/2010 - Went to Poundta another 4m day but started to go down but still OK, Mat made the right choice and headed out on the 4.4m +85L RRD.
