When I'm windsurfing on the north sea, I like the white horses at the horizon showing up. (by the way the french call it white sheep -les moutons blancs).
But on my cat that's a whole different story.
Later on I found out, they were registrated gusts of 35-40 knots

I'd like to see some shots of your trampoline. Is it a kind of netting?

Hi Pete,

I thought you knew already about my net-trampoline. In one of my last threads on this forum there was a extended discussion about the pro's and con's of such a net.

In brief it seems that I'm one of the exceptions who is in favour. But if you look at my video's on youtube you can see the advantage and in my case sometimes the necessity of letting the incoming bow-water through.
Instead of let it push you backwards. My sailing-spot is rather special with regard to waves.

I think you can see more of the net on one of these other youtube-video's
