11th June 2004 Windsurfing: Brighton Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 20-28mph Surf / Sea State: WAVES! Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: not bad Weather: mostly sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Brighton was going off today. And for the first time for months it felt like we'd got our 'normal' wind conditions back. The wind kicked in early and I was out just after lunch on my freestyle board with a 5.7. What a great, lively board that new JP 101 is! As the tide pushed in the wind picked up so I changed down to my 5.2 on the Evo wave board. Could have been on a 4.7 at times! I'm back in love with that tiny board too. Most of the south coast goes flat at this time of year but Brighton always get waves with any wind. I had some brilliant wave riding for about three hours and some mid-tide sets were big enough to spit me onto the shingle a couple of times. The beach lifeguard tried to tell me off for landing in the swimming area, despite there being no-one in the water! (The local council still want to ban us from many Brighton beaches, but the law has yet to be changed). Launching also got hairy as the tide pushed in – with the sort of shorebreak we've not seen for some time. No damage though! In all a great marathon of five or more hours on the water. I only packed up when it went high-tide-lumpy. We definitely need more days like these! |
