I just got totally blown off the water on a 5m. A 3m would be good have one at home but don't have small enough boom

Lucky bugger- I'm at home with a broken leg watching those one in a million conditions lining up at my local.. I've got a 3.3m + matching boom although its a lousy twitchy 90's model.

Was there room in the bed, or is that why Trimmer went sailing

Interestingly about 12 windsurfers today and none kiters on whole GC.
Looks they don't or cant stand the rain at all.I am not surprised. I hardly could see the nose of my board in heavy rain , so how kiters could sail without seeing his kite ?

Saw one crazy kiter on sandbank just north of Wavebreak Island on Sat. Huge air/crash and alot of speed was had. No gear handy for me so I just listened/watched wind howling
