15th July 2006 Windsurfing: Pevensey Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Choplumpcrap Air Temperature: Scorchio! Sea Temperature: Weather: Blazing sunshine Max Speed: Distance Covered: With NE winds forecast I made a first-time trip to Pevensey with an early start due to the expected very high grockle numbers. Arrived 10.30am to find feck-all wind. Grrrr. In a huff I slowly rigged the 7.0 but fortunately by the time I'd finished the wind had started to veer more onshore than expected and pick up. It remained there or thereabouts for the rest of the day, albeit very up and down at times. I had to change down to the 5.8/Skate combo twice - the first time I was underpowered, so back to the 7.0 which I'd left rigged, but the second time at the end the 5.8 was just about right. As Brian has said in his report overall a 6.5 would probably have been the perfect size for today. So a good 4 hour saturday summer scorchio session, albeit mostly just unexciting grooving, with the good windy bit at the end annoyingly coinciding with high tide lumpiness...but best of all, I was wearing just boardies and a rashy! I've always wanted to find out for myself if rubberless sailing could be done in the UK, and it can - I was perfectly warm enough today until right towards the end when the wind picked up. |
