6th October 2006
Windsurfing: saunton sands Wind Direction: w ish Wind Stength: 30 - 40 mph Surf / Sea State: very big! very white Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
It wasn't the best tides as there was a long walk involved but waves didn't look too big from the top of the beach, just a bit white
Once in the water they got a lot bigger glad the wind was onshore as it flattened them out a bit and meant I didn't have to go out of
my depth!
Good fun trying to sail up and down inbetween the lines of waves and swell. It was very much survial conditons for me but got a few
runs in. I started on the 112 lt board but it was way too big. Next I changed down to my 89 lt axxis for a while but I hadn't
realised how crap the non slip was I was having a nightmare getting it going I was being dragged off the front instead of the board
moving,then I managed to break the uj. I checked the rubber before going out but it was the bolt which screws into the bottom that
failed. The next board on the list was an 84 lt freestyle wave woohooooo great fun never thought I would be able to sail a board so
small but was easy to get going and comfortable when up and going.
Decided to call it aday after that as I was knackerd
