Friday 08-08-08 Olympic opening day and Windsurf at VP

Great Friday late afternoon windsurf, I arrive at VP at 5:45, Gene was already there playing with the Kite and I rigged my formula equipment with my 11.9 sail.
Went out and I was planing right away, Gene saw me and came to rig his sail, it suddenly went down and I wasn't planing anymore.
the wind just needed a few minutes to get established and then it came.
Jason arrived and was planing with his 7.5 and 103 liters, I kept sailing with my formula and was overpowered, really overpowered. Gene came out with his 7.5 and his 115 liters, once his passed the wind shadow hi was planing nonstop.
I could not keep sailing (was too overpowered) so I watched with Jason how Gene was having a great August session.
When Gene came back it was late and the funny thing is that the wind was blowing harder and harder.

What a great august late afternoon, hopefully we will have more of this in August.
