Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: Session time = 2-6pm Surf / Sea State: LT@3.30pm Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunshine! :) Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A slightly iffy forecast delivered an absolute cracker of a session. Solid wind all afternoon combined with low tide and sunshine
throughout resulted in lots of happy faces at Shoreham today. For me the first hour was arguably the best. I arrived just after the
wind had kicked in so the water state was relatively un-ruffled. Perfect freestyle-type 5.8 weather, great for moves-a-plenty and I was
soon knocking out the tacks, duck-gybes and body-drags with far more success than normal in the standard Shoreham chopfest. And all to
myself! :)
It wasn't long before several fellow slackers turned up and so did the wind. Soon it was maxed waveboard 5.2 weather :-o and
ramptastic. I had a go on Billyboy's RRD Twintip 105 with a view to buying if liked. Which I did, but unfortunately it felt just a tad
smaller than I had hoped (i.e. probably not a board that will plane in a gnat's fart with my 6.6). So the waveboard was launched and
the session continued with big jumps and planing gybes a plenty until fatigue, other commitments, a dying breeze and the start of
mid-tide choplumpcrap called a halt to playtime.
Great afternoon - about as good as it gets for a summer no-swell session.
