Windsurfing-first time in the bay area

Sunday, after spending some time thinking about it, and looking at the wind conditions I headed back to Boardsports. I decided to get a 10 session pass which I can use to rent equipment. I'm hoping this will allow me to enhance my ability enough so I can buy a smaller board and get the proper sails for it. My hope is that I can improve enough so that I can take another trip to Maui in October or April.

I decided to try to use an even smaller board then the 135L I used in Maui. Today I rigged a 115L with a 5.3 Sail. It was much different with the smaller board and I was pretty rusty at my water starts. But all in all it was a great time. I'm definitely getting better. Oddly enough with the full body wetsuit (aka a "steamer" to those who windsurf) was perfect, and the cold water didn't bother me at all.

It was a great session with about 20 knots with minimal gusting (roughtly 23 knots). I can't wait to head out again!! Hopefully next time I'll get some more *better* images too.

Some more nice conditions.

I'm out for now.
