Sometimes you head to the beach knowing that you are going to rig your smallest sail and rip in incredible conditions. You turn on your pump up mix as you get closer to the launch and your hair stands on end from the excitement. However, there are the times you head to a nearby spot expecting to see the conditions aren't good and run some errands. This was one of those days...but it turned into a good warm up session for the season.
I have seen so many people drive up to a windsurfing spot and turn around even when the conditions are good. I guess we think that if we know the conditions aren't good doing errands etc... won't feel so bad. On this day I showed up to Todd's point planning to turn around but was surprised by the 20knt puff that was there on my arrival. Sailed a 5.8 - 120L. Probably could have been on a 100L but didn't bring it, given how cold it was and how large holes were between gust the 120L helped maximize time and fun. First time using the GoPro camera windsurfing and I mounted it on the most important part of the boom for maneuvers. All and all a nice surprise session with first attempts at filming.
