Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: S-WSW Wind Stength: 30-40 knots Surf / Sea State: 2-3 foot surf Air Temperature: 13ºC Sea Temperature: 12ºC Weather: Mainly Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A nice sunny and windy day with the odd very heavy squally shower. After
taking Morgan for a swimming lesson the wind was howling and the sun
shining so I couldn't resist a windsurf session.
The wind was a solid 30-40 knots and I was a little overpowered with my 5m
rigged as flat as I could get it, but rather than go home and get a smaller
sail I just hung on for all I was worth. Stuart was out on a 4.0m and
looked pretty powered.
Stayed out for a while and got some big jumps and some nice little wave
rides too. When it eased off a little I was perfectly powered and having a
whale of a time, then I'd just have to hang on and hope for the best in the
bigger gusts. The wind did drop off quite a bit at one point too leaving me
wallowing up to my waist and I ended up miles downwind, but a couple of
runs in the bigger gusts and I was soon back to where I started.
All in all a good, but tiring session.
