22nd June 2006 Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F6 Surf / Sea State: Head high waves Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Returned to Hove at 5:30pm and it was windier than earlier. Rigged the 4.5m again with extra down haul. Tide just lapping around the concrete groynes, so not a lot of shorebreak. First run out, big jumps, gybed on the face and down the line for 100yds. I pretty soon worked my way down to King Alfred, where where the wind was cross on, almost an ideal angle, just needed a bit of clew first here and there. Waves were medium sized and pretty clean. Not a lot of power, but enough smooth, steep face to bottom turn, come round off the top, cut back, look for the next section. I had some fantastic waves today, probably 75% of runs in and out had a wave ride on the end. It was all about finding the right spot for a given piece of swell. Often the biggest ones out the back werent the ones to take. They peaked and disappeared and it was the smaller ones that saved their power and doubled in size over the sand bars. The wind eased a bit towards 8pm, so I slacked off the 4.5m at sea and started the long slog upwind. Not good when every time you make some ground, another wave tempts you in again. Took one last wave back at 'my' beach and bottom turned the rear footstrap off the board!! It summed up a good session really: didnt fluff the wave, gybed off, out to sea, back in, and another nice one lined up, so rode that one without a strap too. |
