I spent time hanging with La this morning (and then working on Roland's board in the garage - I need to get that board out so I can work on No.45). The wind was roaring all day - except when I got to the beach.
It was still blowing - but it was up and down. Lots of clouds choking off the flow.

Even though the wind seemed down, I wanted to get more time on the PPC Orbit 4.5m
Stu was supposed to come along, but he got tied up at work. Norm was setting up when I got to the parking lot. Matt and El were finished, as was the windsurfer. Looking at the water, I was even thinking perhaps I should just run my errands and get back home to grab a surfboard.
Norm and I figured what the hell -
And I used this session to work on lighter wind takeoffs and heelside tacks.
I did all tacks except for maybe 1 or 2 jibes at the outside turning point. Tacking is starting to become fun with this setup!
But periodically the wind would stop and leave us sitting around.
Good correlation between the two charts.
And one last gust came along so I wouldn't have to paddle in.
I'm going to start feeling my way through the toe side tacks.
