Lucky Squally Session at Blue Lagoon


A small window of windsurfing opportunity if you were n the right place at the right time.
I just happen to be in that place at that time. Local rain squalls were all around the area producing some squally winds.
Arriving at 4 I observed the wind for 10-15 minutes and then decided to send out the alert message - rigging 5.5 at BL. Got on the water by 4:30 sailed in fairly steady W-NW squall winds for the next 1.5 hours.
A rain shower appeared around 6 so I raced in to close my car windows and then by the time I ran back to launch the wind lulled.
That was it a 1.5 hour quickie session with Larry. 4th session in a week not to bad.


Sail Time: 1.5 hours between 4:30 - 600
Gear: 5.5  Ezzy and 101 liter RRD.
Conditions: Side shore,  squally winds of 15-20 flat on inside organized small swell on the outside.
Weather: Air mid-70s, cloudy with rain thrat, water mid-70s.
Wind:  W-NW winds fairly steady as the squalls formed and  passed overhead.

Schooled: Fun in the swells and hero stuff on the inside.
