Today was a really cool day!! I went winging on the lake where I learn to Windsurf many years ago. I was 12 and lets just say the equipment has changed a lot. A few years back I did go windsurfing on the lake again and realized how small it was and short the runs were. I was on my 6.0m wing and 1000 GP F4 foil. Today the runs were even shorter as the wind was blowing from the WNW. As it is a small narrow lake running north south and the shores are tree lined it is very gusty. So the area that had the best wind was very small as you can see from my track. And it was gusty, which meant that some of the lulls there was almost no wind. I can't believe I learned to windsurf on this lake. It was a nice warm day(27C) and due to it being so gusty not a very long session. Yet it was really fun and again with the foil if I could stay in the gusts could keep it going for a while which is so much fun. The weeds are long and grow very dense so had to walk past chest deep just so the foil wouldn't hit the weeds. Once clear of them it was fast water ;). I did try foiling here last year and I wasn't as good so the runs were shorter, though I had a taste. Today was less wind but really fun. It still amazes me how just some time on the water is so enjoyable. Will see where the next adventures are. Till next time!!
