Saturday 10/15/2011, Metro Beach
Mostly survival sailing with overpowering WSW winds to 40 mph. Winds were more consistent with a tad of south in it which made for better conditions on the inside.
All the hard core sailors showed up rigging 3.2s to 4.0s.
I rigged my 4.0 Ezzy SE with the JP 84 liter board. Way overpowered and uncontrollable for the entire session with the exception of the inside being butter smooth in the shallow bowl area. Made for some wide drawn out jibes.
Late in the evening I ordered a new much needed 3.5 sail.
Session: 12:30 - 3:30
Gear: 4.0 Ezzy SE, 84 liter JP
Conditions: Inside flat filled in most of the time, outside organized swell for the most part but generally to windy for me to enjoy.
Weather: Air 55 degrees, partly sunny, water 55 degrees.
Wind: WSW-W up to 40 mph estimated.
Schooled: Swell riding when manageable and hero jibes/crashes on the inside flat shallow bowl area.
Moves of day: Sticking the clew end into the mud after a blown duck jibe then having the board blown over it cartwheeling 2 times before stopping.
