2nd July 2005
Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: 15-22 knots Surf / Sea State: 1-2 foot surf Air Temperature: 16ºC Sea Temperature: 14ºC Weather: Sunny spells Max Speed: 28.0 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 36.7 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
There was a fair bit of wind this morning, but I decided to go to wrok and
wait for it to fill in in the afternoon... I thought I'd made a mistake as
it dropped off and it looked as though I was going to have to go
kite-surfing in order to get out on the water, but around 3pm the wind
started to fill in and Impi was up and planing with his 8.5m and big board.
Daz and Stevebus also gave it a go with big kit but seemed to be
struggling, but I thought I'd join them anyway rather than getting the kite
out. Once on the water I was nicely powered up with my 6.7m and Sputnik, a
little underpowered at times, but the wind started to fill in and I was
soon maxed out. After a few mad flat out runs I decided it was time to come
in and change down.
Back out on the 5.7m and once again perfectly powered. the swell had picked
up a little now so flat out blasting with the odd jump was the order of the
day. It was ood to be out with the others and see everyone having such a
good session. The wind continued to fill in and I was soon maxed out with
my 5.7 and could see the others struggling at times as well... I didn't
have the energy to change down to the 5m although I probably should have
really. In the end I just held on until I could hang on no more.
What a session, and I'm glad I didn't get the kite out!
