19th August 2004 Windsurfing: Cockerham Sands Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 25knots+ Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: 17C Sea Temperature: Weather: Overcast/rain Max Speed: Distance Covered: Arrived expecting to find at least a few other people out as conditions looked perfect but it was dead. One guy turned up on his lunch break but decided not to rig in the end, not sure why but said he didn't want to damage his new board. Rigged the 4.7 and got onto the choppy water. Didn't apprecite how choppy it was. Not advanced enough to cope with the wavy conditions so found it pretty difficult throughout especially bein unable to water start still. Spent half the session attempting the water start but to no avail so just uphauled it in the end once i got pissed of with water starting. My Arms were absolutely dead by the end of the session which is probably down to the uphauling. I managed to get 2 old grannys worried and worked up as they were watchin me throughout spending the majority of my time in the water attempting to water start. They thought I was in difficulty so I was lucky the coast guard wasn't called out. Spent about 5 mins reassuring them that I was fine and that I was practising a new technique. They then offered a warm coffee which I couldn't refuse. Gotta learn how to water start to progress especially in todays choppy conditions, back to watching the video i think. Hopefully tomorrow brings the same but with sunshine and a nice Westerly without such choppy conditions |
