Windsurfing Self Rescued - Forecast was wrong

Studying the weather forecast, me and my friend, decided that the only safe and windy spot near Athens is Porto Rafti. it was my 2nd time windsurfing with this board and I wasn't familiar with it at all. Also, it was my 1st time on this spot. Forecast was wrong, so after 2 hours fighting to return back to the beach I was self rescued.
