Comfy in my warmest suit

I didn’t expect to wear my 6/5/4 wetsuit this spring but after the cold plunge yesterday and the wind shifting to north I put it on!

The warm suit includes the hood!

The water is 13c now but the air only 10c. I put the deviator on the Fanatic Stingray 140 and kept with the 99cm foil from yesterday. The 5.6 Idol was the already rigged sail choice again.

Comparing 2 days on the exact same foil board; Windfoiling is better when it is gusty on a day like today and a slog upwind  is inevitable. Wingfoiling is way more fun when the wind is steadier like yesterday.

Glad I’ve got complimentary windsports and also then get variety as the wind changes.




I’m wondering about the May wind rose on iWindsurf.com? The data is from my tempest over the 2021 and 2022 months of May. We’ve had a lot of North wind this month. Will it change when a 3rd month of data is added?


Postscript added June 6th… yes, there was a lot of north wind in May 2023. A lot more showing from the NNE on the weather chart when May 2023 was added to the wind rose…
