4th October 2008 Windsurfing: Avon Beach Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F7-F8 Surf / Sea State: CHoppy Air Temperature: 10 Sea Temperature: 15 Weather: Rainy Max Speed: Distance Covered: well, this was defo the first of the autumn sessions, winter wetsuit and all. Absolutely packed at Avon, arrived late after visiting with Juan, Gen and team triplet. Rigged up 4m and 77l on seeing Carl returned knackered with 4.5! Plenty of wind, very gusty, up to 41kn checked on beach, which is sheltered in a SW at Avon. Zoomed out, only to have a footstrap come unscrewed on first run, and realisation that the harness lines were horrendously front-handed. Spent 1.5 hours zooming in and out, did a couple of really great jumps, very floaty, being over-powered helps. Never worked up the bottle for a gybe - the wind was HUGE! Just being out there was an achievement, by the time I was out most people were stopping. Just think how easy F6 will be now... I rest happily in the knowledge that Roger T was overpowered on a 4.0, and would have rigged his 3.7 if he'd known, which makes me pretty ok! |
