8th March 2005 Windsurfing: Plimmerton - Wellington Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 25 - 30 knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot messy surf/chop Air Temperature: 19C Sea Temperature: 17C Weather: Sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered: Came back for a late afternoon session. This time the 4.5 was perfect to begin with. Had 2 runs and then the wind completely died. I was half way across the bay when the wind died so I was left stranded in the middle of the bay drifting downwind towards the end of the bay. There wasnt enough wind to waterstart so I struggled on and eventually made it to the shore where I had a couple of 100 metres walk of shame across some rocks to begin with. The same happened to 1 or 2 other guys but the guys on slightly bigger boards made it back fine. I would of been fine on an 80 litre board but the 72 litre board I got was just sinking. Very anonoying when 1 other guy had the same board as me and he got back in fine but he was quite a bit smaller and weighed less than me. After finally getting to test my board properly, I dont think I'l get away with a 5.4 with my 72l board. The biggest sail I could use would be around 5.0m I think. As I was deriggin, the wind returned and everyone went back out again but I couldnt be bothered as I was so pissed off. Not sure if its the board or what but im not a big fan of this site so time to move back to the South island I think. |
