Expected Session

Belle River Wind Graph











Wednesday 7/13/2011, Blue Lagoon


Again I loaded the van with the minimal amount of gear, 2 sails a 5.5 and 6.0, one mast, and one board.
An "Expected Session" Wind Forecast looked promising, all traffic signals were green and practically a full moon . By 4:00 the wind picked up and I was on the water with the 5.5 Ezzy SE and the RRD 101. Almost a repeat of Monday's session with the exception of higher/steadier wind speeds and less weeds.


Session: 4:00 - 8:00


Gear: 5.5 Ezzy SE 101 RRD FSW board.


Conditions: Flat on the inside and small swell on the outside.


Weather: 80 degrees sunny, water 75 degrees.


Wind: 10-30 from the NNE.


Schooled: Another day of downwind 360s, less successful then Monday but got a good one in, all the way around with hardly any backwinding. Still not pretty but getting better. Also pulled off a lot of opposite side helicopter tacks in the higher winds. Gotta love the flat shallow stuff for doing that.


















Had a special Foxy guest show up during "cocktail hour"
