Windsurfing: Rhosneigr Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F7-8 Surf / Sea State: Big Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: 13 Weather: V Windy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
The 1st day of an advanced windsurfing course, so it was good to catch up
with some old friends from previous courses. After the admin it was down to
Rhosneigr to rig up suitable kit & get on the water. Rigged up my 4.6 with
my new board the Bee 260 85l (Billy Bargain at only £45.50) After some
tips on rigging etc took it down to the waterfront and decided that it was
best to go for my 4.2 so spent another 30mins derigging and re-rigging but
it was worth it in the end. Got on the water and shot of like a bullet,
got trounched by a big wave mangaed to waterstart quickly and got a wave
back in. Kept on spinning out and it seemed to be the way of the day
couldn't get any back foot pressure. Thought it was the conditions but
later found out it was just the set up.
Had some good runs out in the waves tested my nerve in the big waves and
came out unscathed.
All in all an excellent 1st day on the water.
