Yep, Was out today with a 6.5 Meter sail and totally tuned up, blasting to the point the fin spun out a few times. Really kind of odd to sail a board sideways on a plane at about 20 degrees angle to the forward motion.
A couple times I crashed - once ran aground on a sand bar and - well at 25 knots, the board stops, I didn't. Hopefully you get the picture.
All too much fun to just lean back - full strapped in, and may have 20% of the board in the water.
Windsurfing has been a central part of my happiness for over 30 years. (Matt and Sam with Dad).

High Wind - Not in water often
Yep
After work got airborne more than I think I was in the water.
Fun to get wet again after a 3 week trip to the US sans WQindsurfing.
Arms definitely paid the price as no windsurf for a month was like starting over and so after too short time, I had to rest.
When I went back out, the wind was dropping off at 7 PM, end of the day - all in all - still a wonderful time.
Tess dropped me a weed fin - originally in like was one of Mark's that I bought a few years back.
It worked well, and when fully blasting had enough of a load to go upwind a little - like a formula fin almost.
Fun way to end the day
