HOAC Windsurfing Report


Was bored, and the wind was gentle and it was a baking hot day. Needed to test out the Bic Techno 125 that I bought 2 months ago.

Went over to Hillingdon Outdoor Activity Centre (www.hoac.net) and had a pleasant potter about on the lake in Force 2 with the 7.4m beast sail.


Hard work - board is tiny compared to what I'm used to. Wibbles and wobbles all over the place at first. Once there's a breeze though, she flies. Nearly planing in Force 2. Can't wait for force 3 and up because its going to be fun. Not sure yet how I am going to tack or gybe - its really hard to balance on such a small board, but I am sure I will think of something.
