Learning to Waterstart at Jericho

[Alton]

I'm going to Jericho today with a 5.8 and a forecast calling for westerlies increasing to 15 to 25 this afternoon. Let's DO this!

Looks like night wind. If you're lucky it will start before sunset. Keep watching Friday for westerlies.

Your iWindsurf graph pretty much sums up today's session at Jericho. No wind at all and when there was it came from every direction. There was barely enough wind to move let alone practice waterstarting. I will need to try again and report.

There are a LOT of great tips in this thread. Most of what you read online or watch on YouTube regarding waterstarts are in Maui or Gorge conditions by pretty skilled sailors. It's good to bring waterstarting closer to home for local conditions. .
