Kaunas season opening - FW

The forecast wasn't perfect for Saturday, but it was even worse for Sunday, thus organizers tried to do their best. The wind was very very very gusty. From 2 up to 10 meters, changing very often and very suddenly. There were 2 and a half race's done. 2 and a half because during the last race we have made only 1 lap, because of the lack of wind.
As always during Kaunas season opening we were not alone in the water, there were many kind of sailing boats as well as raceboards and group of kids racing on Fanatic Vipers. So it was a real mess out there. Because of that the distance was really strange and not usual.

Kaunas Season Open - RCB

Hello everyone,

Today we had a wonderful day for the season to be opened on Raceboards. There were 3 races overall, 2 laps for each race. Wind was very unsustainable from 3m/s to 6-7m/s so it was like gusts chasing race. I was using my 9.0 simmer pro-race 2001 (Even though the sail is ancient but the power is still greatly felt).

After perfectly tuning our gear we left the shore to prove who is the best on Raceboards.

Spring tour I

Aloha everyone!

As everyone know we had a great FW competition on April 16, which was the first one this year made by "Vejas Galvoje". First of all, congratulations to the winners - Gediminas LTU 76, Rytis LTU 799 and Gintas LTU 89.


It was my second FW competition in my life and I was extremely excited to compete with other, much more experienced guys. The wind was coming from North-West direction and was quite gusty. I was using my North Sails Warp 2007 11.0 and F2 VI formula. The average speed of wind was 5-6m/s and for me, as a light weight windsurfer, it should have been the perfect conditions to race but as I have a lack of stench in my angle and speed some problems came up.

Revolution

Hello everybody, how you have already noticed there has been some dramatic changes in my blog (now it's not only mine). Now it's my and my friend's Arnas Busmanas LTU 191 blog. He is a very good and perspective windsurfer.
We decided to write blog together, to achieve better results and to improve quality of the blog. I am mainly racing in FW and Slalom while he is competing in RS:X class, but he is participating in FW and Slalom competitions as well. And we both are keen on wave and freestyle.
We hope you enjoy reading our stories and adventures.

'Vejas galvoje' - Spring tour I

Finally the season in Lithuania has been opened with competition. Today we have had really good FW conditions. The wind was a bit gusty, but it was even more interesting to race because of that. You  had to be very concentrated all the time in order to see and catch the gusts.
In the skippers meeting we also celebrated 'Vejas galvoje' windsurfing club's 14th birthday and then jury went on explaining the distance. Everything was different than normally. All marks had to be taken by port tack.

My dad has decided to use his 11.0 Severne Code Red so I have had to use 10.0 Severne Code Red, but now when I am 75kg this sail is a bit to small for me in light wind. Luckily, Gedaiminas LTU 76 has borrowed me last year Sverne Reflex 11.0. Although it is widely believed that last year Severne Formula sails are bad, this one was much better than my 10. But it was not as good as other 11.0 sails. It was very hard to pump for me with that sail, because this sail seems to be very flexible.
