Looks like Saturday is going to be windy..., and cold
The southern French left side of my brain says: “no way, it’s going to be miserable”
The addict right side of my brain says:” I want to try all these jibing tips. It won’t get warmed for s long time. Last time I went to the Lake, I had to quit after crashing and ripping my sail.”

So, I need a few tie breakers. Information
I do not have anything to keep my head and feet warm
I have a full wetsuit, not sure how thick it is

Does that mean my wetsuit is 5/4 mm thick? Is it good for Saturday?

54 is the size actually, corresponds to XL

I think the label means a Euro size 54, which is XL in the US. If it's a full wetsuit, you should be fine Saturday. The water is still pretty warm so falling in will warm you up ☺.

Btw Friday seems a better day for you to practice those things. It’s supposed to be warmer and with a less intimidating and more manageable wind strength. When the wind is at 30 mph or more everything happens too fast and it’s hard to focus on details, not to mention the high chop becomes a hindrance for any smooth action.

You'll probably be on 4.7 Saturday.
