22nd May 2011 Windsurfing: Porthcawl - Newton Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: F5-7 Surf / Sea State: Flat on inside, swells further Air Temperature: 15C Sea Temperature: ? Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Really difficult to get out when the tide was highish, as it was a bit light on the inside, but once you did get out, there was plenty of power to haul you over the waves. Board was a bit big, but needed something floaty to get out. Later on, the wind picked up a notch or three, & I was somewhat overpowered with 4.7m. By that time, I was through, and we called it a (hard) day. Lots of rescue excitement - lifeboats (breaking down), coastguard helicopter, 3 people rescued, one of whom was highly upset about it as he lost all his kit. One other guy lost a brand new Quatro board & rig when he was picked up. Expensive day. The upset guy drove round to Ogmore to look for his kit. All he found was his trashed sail - trashed when the lifeboat ran over it). His board (JP), boom, mast all gone to some thieving gits. The BWA guys were out in force!
