WindSurf on x-mas day 25 dec 2011.

Yes, t was possible to get some wind surfing today at Torkelstorp.
Wind was from SW, gusty, approx 8 m/s.
Air temp +7°C. Water approx +5°C.
I sailed with a open glove, ok.
It was difficult to get speed, guess it had with the wind to do.
But any how, some hour on the water.

Berit, the 27:th november storm.

1:st advent, 27 nov, the storm Berit paid a visit to the west coat shoreline.
I went to our local surf spot Torkelstorp early in the morning before the wind was catching up to much speed.
Sailed between 10-12 (with breaks in between). I used my JP slalom/race board, 69 liters, and NP RS Race 5,8 m2 sail. Wind was from W/SW and gusty, 14-19 m/s at that time.
Choppy water conditions made it very difficult to speed.
I had only max speed 31 kt.

In the afternoon wind picked up more and more.
In the evening out at Nidingen the average wind was 24 m/s with peaks up to 36 m/s.

Waterz 10 september 2011 Danmark.

Ja, det var ju tänkt att jag skulle få Tävla i Down wind Race tävlingen denna lördag i Hvide Sande - Danmarks västkust men vinden ville annat.
Vind prognosen enligt DMI var lite klen även ett par dagar innan lördagen. med max vind 8 m/s men ökande mot lördag em.
Skepparmöte kl 11:00 på lördag. Vinden var 6-8 m/s (mest sydlig), bra väder och mycket folk.

Starten bestämdes till 12:45 oavsett väder/vind. Blev inte bättre.
Både surfare & kite tävlar med gemensam start. Vi var omkring dryga 250 pers.
Daniel & Anders kunde ej komma, hinna i tid från tyskland (EM).
Träffade dock Anders Bergström från stockholm (S-414) på p-platsen så vi slog följe.
Jag riggade 8,0 m2 segel samt JP slalom/Race 68 (112 lit) bräda.
Vi gick ut o testade ca 30 minuter före start.
Jag fick en planing på typ 5 sekunder.
Fick ligga i vattnet många minuter och vänta på vind innan jag kom upp på brädan.
Vinden räckte inte till för mig så jag bestämde mig för att inte starta. Inte kul att segla ut på fjorden och sedan inte få planing. Många hade formula brädor med 10,2 m2 segel.
Anders såg jag kom i väg då o då när vi testade, han hade 7,8 m2 men väder ca 15 kg mindre.
Vet inte hur det gick för honom. Jag åkte tillbaka till stugan jag hade hyrt (Anita var med) på Söndervigs camping.
Tittade dock på starten.
Alla startar samtidigt, surfare & kitare. Banan ligger ute i fjorden, man skall runda 4 bojar under "resan" ner till Ringköbing (målgång). Distansen är ca 25 km. Det var en vindsurfare som vann. Tiden runt 30 minuter tror jag. Man får skjuts tillbaka till Hvide Sande. Tävlingsformen verkar vara ok, så kanske man testar ett annat år.
Även på söndagen var det vind fattigt så vi reste hemåt vid 10:00 tiden.
