Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny spells Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Rushed back to Shoreham after work expecting the wind to be honking and waves building on the dropping tide. But arrived 6pm to find
lots of people in wetsuits standing around on the beach (never a good sign...) and only a marginal breeze. Grrrr!!!
Ho-hum well it was sunny and still windy enough to plane so I rigged up the 5.8 and got back out there. Shouldn't have bothered. 1 crap
hour of underpowered only-just-planing at the start then not-planing-at-all at the end. The only good thing about the session was being
reminded how amazing the 5.8 Wedge is. It seems to stay powered up and keep the board on the plane through the biggest of lulls when it
feels like you are hardly moving at all, and yet remains incredibly light, well-balanced and not at all back-handed even when well to
over-powered.
It's absolutely howling right now and I'm at work. :(
But is forecast to be just as windy tomorrow. :)
