While believing the strong wind was blowing, I headed for the sea, but when I arrived at Kaichu Doro, I found the wind was not so strong, and I was disappointed like other windsurfers, who had already gathered there. I sailed out under the wintry sky. The wind got stronger gradually although it’s gusty, and my board started to skitter.
