Nice to see you getting out mate, did you have company out there or were you self isolating.

Got out for the first time this season yesterday. Same here, out for 3hours and now really sore. 5months of cross country skiing doesn't help windsurfing at all it appears.

Ok, I'll bite - why do you have both a 7.8 Simmer and a 7.5 Ezzy?

oh no not you too ..the misses said i was a greedy selfish son of a bitch ...

true story seen the 7,8 on my last holiday ..for 500 ...just had to have it

however the lion is a lot easier to use in chop ..softer sail .

That sounds like a terrible day.
I know I would hate it to switch board and sails three times within 4 hours.
