Phil Dobner Windsurfing at Shoreham Beach

January 9th, 2012 Posted in Blog

60 knots out the back according to the latest weather data!!
It was either the 5.0 and 80l Witchcraft or Mistral Superlight for a
bit of Level 1 gybe practice (centerboard up of course).

Stacks of power in the inside with perfect dtl or neally anyway, just
a tad too offshore, I was reaching parallel to the beach out the
back..
Couldn’t really turn so survival tacks and both feet in straps hooked
in waterstarts but in the lulls it was perfect.

The board is just amazing in those conditions, I didn’t need to worry
about its ability to perform, the sail worked well, a bit more
downhaul and a few m2 less would have been nice and also loving the
Reflex with the 3mm on shoulders and arms just so comfortable and warm
bearing in mind the wind chill affect was fairly active..

I know if you had been there the superlight 360′s would have been the
trick of the day..

Cheers
Phil
