Wind is probably the most important part of our equipment that we at times don't take advantage of.
There are several models available to sailors as listed below;
Breeze-is essential kit for beginners and makes learning the sport easy but can be very frustrating for advanced sailors.
Moderate Breeze- is the next model up and helps beginners experience the thrill of planing,desperate advanced sailors may go big to get out on the water.
Fresh Wind-now we are getting into the performance model and sailors flock to their local beaches to have some fun.
Strong Wind-High performance piece of kit,guys take sickies from work,those stuck at work become dellusional and can't take their eyes off the trees outside dancing in the wind.
Gale Force-The sweetie of all the models available, only experienced sailors can have fun with a girl like her,she will take you for a wild ride and if you can't handle it will throw you off just as quick.Sailors have wet dreams about Gale and she'll blow anyone into windsurfing heaven.
Stop press.....just released for May 2009 new model "Calm" will do a review soon could be a great model
There is also a new weather warning being implemented
Extreme Calm Weather- Extended periods of calm, Disorientation associated with seeing the sky to often reflected on the water, discussions are had extolling the virtues of Formula boards, kites, Kayaks and in some extreme cases ***'s. Serious negotiations are undertaken with financial controllers to get the tools to protect from these conditions, FC's are known to be extremely ruthless in these negotiations.
Visit's to the relatives are inevitable and possibly be enjoyable.
Gardening may occur.
Sheds may be cleaned, often accompanied by bouts of extreme weeping and clutching of favorite sails.
Nigglyness and irritability is guarenteed
being a qld'er i have had many experiences with the calm model.
having tried formula, longboard and gardening i have found that a sailable sup is the best piece of quiver to use in combination with calm.
