Ah, the kit...

Despite claims to the contrary, needless to say "the kit" is extremely important. And now I've got some.

Went to Robin Hood Windsurfing near Halifax, since I happened to be passing - long story. Spent a long time talking to Matt, super salesman and windsurfer...

and selected a big pile of stuff.
Here's the list, for completists:

  • F2 Stoke 125 litre (conservative choice, for max confidence)

  • 3 Tushingham sails (7.5/6.5 T2, 5.5 Storm)

  • 2 Amex 75% carbon masts (460/430)

  • Amex T8 boom

  • Liquid 36cm fin (Probably get another when I've checked requirements)

  • O'Neill Hammer wetsuit (get you ducky...)

  • Pat Love JetSet Waist harness (about time I tried one!)

  • Various ropes, extensions, harness lines

  • Jez' Knob, a cunning board damage prevention device



Cool huh? Drove it all home, set it up on the lawn, like you do...

All very exciting. Now...

When do I get to use it?!?!
