Got Wind?

No shortage of wind over the past 48 hours, the only sail Glenn rigged was a 3.7 Gaastra Manic. Sandbanks early Sunday was a blowout with gusting over 60+mph, it was liquid smoke on the water and Glenn lasted about 45 mins. It was certainly to much of a good thing in terms of wind since it made wave riding nearly impossible as a bottom turn with a 50 knot gust in your sail isn't exactly comfortable.

After thawing out and driving home, Glenn did a classic bump and jump session, on a 3.7 again. Actually, not a lot of bumping and jumping since control on the water was pretty hard to come by in the 50 knot gusts.
















Thanks to Mark van Dam for the great shots! (check out his site at www.imagesbyvandam.com)
