Day 3 of our LF trip with Robin, first day at Le Rouet.
Quite bizarre day. Arrived at 9.00h on a sunny beach with very flat water and 20 knots wind. It was just a matter of time till the predicted 25 knots were there.
But instead the clouds came, even rain too, and wind never filled in. I started only at 4 PM, tired of waiting, with a bigger board (mXr LM54) for an easier surf.
Had no idea about the speeds (Suunto cable was still in Belgium, GT-31 was packed in too much plastic bags ;-), but when I hit a quite strong gust, I thought I better took the JP45. Wrong choose, because the wind slowly faded away again.
To my surprise I did my 2 fastest runs and max (81) with the mXr LM54, what a great shape of the 2 Martin's (Van Meurs/Love) and the Loftsails SpeedBlade 5.6 felt really stable also.
The day didn't deliver what I hoped for, but am I dissapointed? Nooo :-)
