Super early summer Windsurfing at Grafham Water, 8th June 2024
Saturday 8th June 2024 delivered a fair old breeze from the North West, but a strange and challenging mixture of full on choppy conditions when a strong and sustained F5 came through down to a light and patchy F3 offering better suited to foiling. Plenty of windsurfing, wind foiling and wing foiling action was in evidence with a good turn out of regulars and guests making the most of some sunshine and almost summer warmth - just the NW wind direction keeping the temperatures down a little. A while since I had the time to sail and video, edit and upload to TH-cam so it was good to get back into it both on and off the water and share the captured action with you all - enjoy the video!

Windsurfing at Grafham Water, Sunday 4th February 2024
มุมมอง 1.3K11 หลายเดือนก่อน
Windsurfing fun from Grafham Water. Sunday 4th February was a deceptively windy day at Grafham with the forecast F5-6 winds not obvious from the launch area but with massive gusts coming through sporadically from the SW/W once out in the middle of the lake. Those of us heading out with the traditional fin opted for sail sizes ranging from 5.5 to 7.7m in size. I found myself very well powered up...

This action was captured on the 4th February at Grafham Water whilst 'Over the Hedge Dave' was going through his Defi-Wind on water training. My apologies to Dave for putting this video up on TH-cam, but thought it might serve a useful purpose in helping to analyse what went wrong! It looked like something weird was going on with the footwork in what might have been an early gybe initiation - h...
Grafham Water Windsurfing January 2024

Superb windsurfing action from Grafham Water, UK, January 2024. The New Year brought us plenty of wind so January 2024 proved to be a good one for those fortunate enough to get out on to the water. The session filmed here was a gnarly but mild mid-January day. The usual suspects headed out to put themselves and their kit through it's paces. Watch Andy, Bob, Dave R, Dave K, OTH Dave and Steve sh...
Christmas 2023 windsurfing and winging from Grafham Water
มุมมอง 1.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Saturday 23rd December 2023 was an excellent day to dodge the Christmas shopping and head out on the water at Grafham. Conditions were gusty but manageable in a westerly F5-6. I headed out on my Fanatic Blast 115 with a 5.5m sail being enough to get comfortably flying across the chop most of the time. Of course the slalom speed merchants (Dave R and Speedy Steve) went bigger - some credit due f...

So our windsurfers dream of consistent summer low pressure systems tracking across the UK continues, and amazingly enough the weekend of the 29th and 30th July saw moderate to strong winds from the SW arriving on cue - this time it was not just the retired Grafham regulars who benefitted, but the workers too - freed from our weekday lives we descended on Grafham to partake in an epic weekend of...
Windsurfing and winging in strong & gusty wind at Grafham Water, 16th July 2023

Sunday 16th July was a wild and gusty afternoon as another unseasonal low tracked across the UK. Unfortunately for us windsurfers the promised swing around to a westerly direction never really happened so those heading out on to the water had to deal with some wind shadow and then full on strong winds further out in the SSW conditions. Tony and Fake Tony (Jonesy) showed dedication and skill bef...
Fabulous windsurfing, windfoiling and winging at Rutland Water, 9th June 2023
มุมมอง 656ปีที่แล้ว
Friday 9th June 2023 was predicted to be warm and breezy and due to the closure of Grafham Water for the day saw a number of the Grafham regulars head up to Rutland Water. The wind direction was North Easterly which in theory would create some flat water and clean breeze over the dam wall. Upon arrival and sign in at Whitwell Watersports all looked good, with the sun shining and wind blowing st...
Beginner windfoiling using the Starboard Supercruiser foil - Grafham Water 3rd June 2023
มุมมอง 624ปีที่แล้ว
Saturday 3rd June 2023 was a warm and breezy day, the afternoon warmth triggering the mythical Grafham thermals. Wanting to continue my foiling leanring curve and with the wind strength gusting an occasional F4 I decided rather than going for my trusty Tushingham Thunderbird 7.5 sail to instead rig up my Neil Pryde Hornet 6.7 sail. The dual cams providing better stability in any gusts. This was...

So I finally managed to catch Ivan on camera during one of his windfoiling sessions at Grafham in between getting out on the water myself. The sunny and warm conditions produced the mythical Grafham thermal leading to periods of decent breeze across the lake. Check out Ivan's superb foiling tack - not even close to touching the water on this one! I hope you enjoy the video! Music by Creatormix....

My first flights at Grafham Water using the 2021 Starboard Supercruiser hydrofoil and Tabou Rocket Plus 123 board. As it turned out the conditions for my first windfoiling attempts were just about perfect - a strengthening but mostly light breeze (8 to 14 knots) from the northwest made kit launching and recovery easy (cross on-shore), and I went with my Tushingham Thunderbird 7.5m sail as this ...

Saturday 28th February 2023 was cold. Ade and George were the only two windsurfers keen enough and available to head out on to the water.
