7th September 2008 Windsurfing: Hayling Island Wind Direction: WNW Wind Stength: HT@4.15pm Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered: Fat Face event day 2 Urrrggghhh hangover and much less wind than yesterday. Race 5 JP+6.6 Very little wind on the inside meant that only the pro sailors on big slalom kit planed off the beach but I did manage to pump to the front of the non-planing pack through the light wind zone. This allowed me to get going quickly with clean air as soon as I hit the wind line. A good gybe and wind all the way back to the beach found me way ahead of the majority of the fleet. Finished 9th!!! Ooohhh baby. With my overall ranking now 12th I was buzzing after this race and very excited at the prospect of a possible top ten finish. I even went back onto the water straight after the race to tune my kit and practice my mark roundings! Race 6 JP+6.6 By now the wind had almost completely dropped. ARSE. I planed only once for about 50 metres in the whole race. Furthermore when nearing the mark on starboard a bloke who had gybed round it and was now coming back in on port sailed straight into me. Git. 84th. Shouldn't have bothered. I was really deflated after the last race but my mood turned to sheer joy when I saw the final results. After six races and two discards in the freeride fleet I had finished 9TH OVERALL!!! Absolutely mega mega chuffed. Superb weekend. Bring on next year. :) :) :) |
