18th August 2004 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: S-SW Wind Stength: 30-35 knots Surf / Sea State: 2 foot messy surf Air Temperature: 13ºC Sea Temperature: 17ºC Weather: Rain Max Speed: Distance Covered: Wooohoooo!!! What a session. I got up at around 5am and waited for it to get a little lighter. By 5.30 am there was enough light to see, so I checked the wind on the beach which was 25-30 knots with some 35 knots gusts.... Nice. I quickly drove around to the car park and rigged my 5m and was on the water before 6am... But not for long as it was ballistic out there and impossible to keep the board on the water. A quick change down to my 4.5m and I tired again. This time I was still totally maxed out and at times way overpowered as ridiculous gusts whipped the water up into a mass of spray, lifted me up and spat me out! Most of the time it was just about controllable though and I had a good sail for a couple hours in survivial conditions. Due to the conditions I didn't go for anything fancy, just some flat out gybes on the swells, some backside wave-riding with the odd off the lip and some BIG jumps. To start with ot was still a little dark which made judging the height of the jumps and therefore timing my landings a little difficult. On a couple I was much higher than I thought, so braced for the landing far too early, which resulted in a few crashes! |
