9th July 2006 Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: F7 Surf / Sea State: Mainly chop Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Hot! Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: After the marginal conditions of yesterday, this was the opposite! I turned up the Shoreham somewhat late, to find several people changing down to 3.5m sails... It didn't initially look quite that windy, but I took the hint and rigged my smallest sail, a 4.0m, and when I got on the water I was definitely overpowered at times. The wind was a little holey though, so perhaps it was for the best. It was certainly hard to stay far enough downwind at times though, during the strong periods, and it was definitely a day for lots of short sessions with rests in-between. No real waves (swell) today, just choppiness. Good jumping occasionally, but not much riding. A pretty knackering afternoon for me overall, and a not-so-gentle hint that I ought to spend some time in the gym between sailing days :( Also a reminder that I really need to buy a 370 mast for the 4.0, as it was impossible to pull on enough downhaul with the 400, making the conditions feel far harder than they really were. A great afternoon in the sun and howling wind, despite not really giving a very good performance myself. Should really have been on the Acid today, but I've pretty much given up using it. The Evo was still very manageable in 4m- winds. |
