Back in october I went to Croatia island Krk again with a friend of mine. We
actually wanted to go to Punat, but as we were getting closer, the winds were
picking up more and more. When we got to the spot winds were too strong for the
equipment we had with us or. had at all for that matter. It was for 3,7 m2
sails.
After some waiting and feeling sorry for
ourselves there was suddenly a rumor around about going to another spot on the
other side of the island where it could be better. Apparently when there are
very strong winds - too strong to windsurf in Punat they can be just right in a
little village of Klimno.
Since we had no idea where it was we were
following a guy who is sort of a local, and after reaching the spot, after some
20 minutes or so, we found little windsurfing heaven on earth. :-)
At first it didn't even seem that there
was any wind, but this guy assured us that it was. And in a few minutes we
really saw someone on the water - cutting a strait white line. There were only
three of us there at the beginning. Later one some more people came but it all
looks like Klimno is not really known between windsurfers in that region -
there was also a hint from our 'guide' - not to talk about Klimno around to
much. I guess they would like to keep it that way. :-)
Anyway ... I rode my knew old JP Freerace
118 in combination with BuggFins freerace/slalom fin 37,5 cm. I decided for the
smaller fin and larger sail Challenger sails Fluido T3 7,8. It was a good
combination. I did a few hours with the setup and recorded the session with the
GPS and the sports-tracker app.
Max speed was over 45 km/h which is I guess ok for me and the big sail :)
