Nailed the Lake O forecast Geoff.
Scott, Joe, Bill and I ended up at Webster Park watching Rick Griffin arguable the biggest strongest and hardest windsurfer in our region windsurf. He initial rigged his 4.8 pretty flat and slogged for parts of a run or two near the Webster Park Pier before the wind started to get itself figured out and went West in the upper 20’s. The wave action at Webster is pretty intense and long lines of swell break so that you often need to point the board downwind and try to outrun the break for 100 yards before punching through the back of the foam. All with the Pier poking a couple hundred yards out downwind (hopefully) of you.
It was pretty impressive to see. Rick is a big jumper and hard sailor but he didn’t jump much, even after he went to his 4.2 super flat. After a pretty long session he packed it in as a 3.8 was eventually the proper sail size.
Hence all of us spectating in the Real Feel 39 degree air.
Wd.
