11th January 2004 Windsurfing: Brogborough Wind Direction: sw Wind Stength: 15- 40mph ! Surf / Sea State: chop Air Temperature: 8c Sea Temperature: cold Weather: sunny/ rain/ hail Max Speed: Distance Covered: One of them days when what ever you rigged was wrong. The wind was really up and down but not gusty. I went for the middle ground and rigged a 6.3 after getting changed looked at the windmeter it showed 35mph was thinks this is gonna be a challenge but the time I walked across the car park there wasn't even a enough to get going. Let lots of down haul off and headed out got going ok due to the 150lt board. The wind steadily picked up til it was time to put the down haul back on. It still carried on picking up and things got very bouncy with 150lts under myfeet as the chop picked up. Changed down to 112 lt board didn't really have a good time on it sail felt great on the larger board but felt awful on the sail board , Why? had to move the harness lines back and raise the boom things a bit better but not as comfortable. Fluffed a gybe just as it got extra windy and rain hail everything came through nearly got washed up inthe corner, was ready for walk of shame but things eased and I sailed out of it. Had a few more runs on the small board but things didn't feel right was just getting really tired couldn't get the lines right. Thankfuly things eased a little and got back on the big board for some good blasting even getting some air off the chop. The time on the small kit too my energy so decided to call it a day as tacking or gybing I could hardy hold the sail. |
