Lessons learned, pick the last wave in the set as there is very little power in the sail to drive you out over the whitewater.
Use an uphaul rope as the wind was too light to waterstart for this session.

Very impressive! Your boards are pushing new limits in light wind. Awesome.

0-10 knots.
Nice effort on the big girl
Did you consider going for a surf?
But seriously, when should it be too light to go windsurfing?

Depends on your own situation, if you live in Geraldton WA sailing coro's every day through the summer, you wouldn't bother, you go mow your lawn . However if you live anywhere else in Australia and haven't sailed in 5 to 6 week, it would be more appealing.
You also got to reverse your thinking about what is powering your rig, it's the power of the waves and not the wind, you only need enough wind [5 to 10 knots]to balance against the sail and glug forward. The size and power of the wave is what is generating the apparent wind over the sail once on the wave. The design of these large Hot Rod waveboards is to have the needed controlable volume under your feet to get you into the best take off position then rapidly gain speed to generate this apparent wind .
