Thanks Pierre for the prediction ! The wind was definitely there...
I missed wednesday at the coast - Matt Haut told me that it was truly an epic
day on 4.4 with really smooth mast high waves. At least 6 bottom turns from
the upper break to the middle of the channel. Completly laying down the sail
as he carved. Whoa ! monday was also spectacular I was told.
I got there around 1pm only to find the parking lot mostly full ! what ???
weekday in the beginning of march ??? what's going on ??? the waves were
pretty small with some head sets - which was fine since it had been 4 months
since I got wet. Strong (and somewhat gusty) winds - fell really cold hands in
the beginning, but then the action got good so I didn't feel cold anymore...
Rigged a very loose 4.7 (180#) and was very powered most of the time. By about
3pm the waves started picking up and we were getting some nice logo+ sets.
really nice !
quit after 2.5 hours (suprised I lasted that long for a the first day of the
season - I guess those rowing machine workouts to stay in shape during the off
season paided off). When I left at 4, the wind was more like 5.3+ and really
flat.
great (but somewhat cold) day... looks like the season has started...
