3rd March 2004 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 16-20 knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot surf Air Temperature: 4ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: I took my time to decide whether to go kite-surfing, windsurfing or surfing at The Lifeboat Station. Miguel had a go at kite-surfing but looked too overpowered. AndyW was having a go at wndsurfing but looked underpowered and Shem decided to have a go at surfing in the small but clean surf at the Lifeboat Station. AndyW ripped his sail, but decided to give it another go with a smaller sail and Miguel gave up, so I finally decided to go out windsurfing. I rigged my big kit and got out there. I was maxed out with my 6.3m and heading up wind most of the time and hanging on, in the lulls I was just nicely powered up, and once I settle down a bit, the maxed out moments were enjoyable too. I did a few jumps but nothing spectacular as maintaining control was top priority. The waves were pretty vicious, with some head high ones jacking up and trying to slam you all the time. In the end I stayed out the bacl most of the time and playing amongst the big swells. I made some nice gybes on the face of the swell, and some long low jumps on the wave out. Coming back in was generally a flat out off the wind run so that I didn't end up too far downwind. All in all a good session, with plenty of wind and waves. My 5.7m sail may have been a better choice though. |
