Instant Replay of Easter Sunday

MB's Rockin at the Lagoon

Monday 4/9/2012, Blue Lagoon

Arrived at Blue Lagoon about 3:30 only to see cloudy, calm conditions. Every where else was windy except the place where you want it to be windy - figure that one out.

Hung around and talked to the other desperadoes for awhile until more desperadoes showed up and then we all hung around talked for a while with our arms folded across our chests.

Finally the winds started whimpering and suddenly the sun came and all the caps were showing white caps. Hmmm...

Some guys rushed to rig big gear most of us played the wait and see game.

At the same time I rigged a 4.5 and a few unnamed guys laughed at me wondering WTF I was doing rigging such small gear.

I looked out and the big-riggers were visibly OPed, so I took that queue and headed out to a little light on the inside 4.5 conditions. After heading out 50 yards or so the steady trades hit me and I never looked back 2 hours of rockin the Laguna. Came in after 2 hours to add a little downhaul to my 4.5 to help with the tired arms then another half hour with the wind seemingly switching to a tad side off.

Almost as good as the Lagoon can get conditions for the second day in a row.

The mostly steady winds were mainly from the WNW. It came up quickly around 4:30, up to 35 mph estimated speed.
The 4.5 Ezzy Freewave handled it well.
The windsurfing crew of 8 t0 10 were sailing 4.2s to 5.5s.

Session: 2.5 hour of time on the water between 4:30 and 7:00.
Gear: 4.5 Ezzy Freewave, 85 liter JP FSW.
Conditions: Fairly steady side shore winds with small smooth swell in some spots.
Weather: Air 55s, mostly bluebird sky, water 50 degrees.
Wind: WNW up to 35 mph estimated.
Schooled: Same as previous post - catching up to where I left off late last season Duck jibes, fast tacks heli-tacks, and some nice jumps.
