We had a nice windsurf at Larkollen to day. I started up with my 5, 3. But it was to big so I went in and had my 4,7 on. I could even been out with 4, 2. I wish I had listened to Jorgen who recommended me to go on with 4,7 right away. I had a lot of turns around the whale. It was nice with some small "bumb & jump a bit rideable waves, but it was totally dead onshore. In meaning could not be more onshore. Sigurd an I had a turn up to Sletter. In my opinion it was nice up there with some nice waves in the opening between the islands up there. But when I was up there I started to be quite tired in my hands with some cramp, so I went in to the whale again to squeeze out the rest out of my arms. Next time in this kind of condition I go for find the right sail a bit faster, and go in for rigging down faster and go up to Sletter right away.

Ok windsurf at larkollen, hvalen/sletter

I had an ok surf on Larkollen from around 17.00-20.00. Rigged quite tight 5.2. Could probably sailed with 4.7 but the wind was somewhat up and down so it was ok with the 5.2 even though it at times was a little big. But lately I have been better to sail over powered. Was first a couple of rounds at the Whale, but the waves there where crappy, so I sailed me up to Sletter, I took a couple laps up there, but it was disappointingly small waves up there, and completely crouded with a lot of kiters around the tip where it breaks. It was also no one who "joined the" up there, so I sailed down to the whale again quite quickly. I had many fine rounds at the whale, also together with Jørgen and Sigurd. They tried recruit me into the world of Goya, and I had some turns with Jørgens Goya custom 80L (series) seemed like a very good board. My concern has been that it perhaps could be tricky jybe in a good way compared to my RWW, but the board worked well in jybe. Big difference on a RWW and a Goya wave board must be the speed in waves. It was not the biggest waves and quite onshore conditions, but I got the impression of it in a couple of waves with controlled sharpness and high speed in the turns. It Might by such a board some time :-) Waves arond the whale was not the big thing, but sometimes it was some sets of waves to have some fun with.
Otherwise, there were a lot of people by Larkollen / Teibern this day / evening. Even I had to park my car a piece up on the road away from the parking area.
