Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: 25-35 knots Surf / Sea State: 3-4 foot messy surf Air Temperature: 10ºC Sea Temperature: 9ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I still don't have a 5m sail so went across to the beach with my 5.6m and
4.5m... The wind was around 25 knots so I plumped for the 5.6m with lots of
downhaul as I would prefer to be maxed out than under-powered in big
seas.
I was indeed maxed out the whole time, although there were one or two lulls
where the 4.5m wouldn't have been enough so given the conditions it was
probably the best choice. The extra power did result in some huge floaty
jumps though.
I did try one forward loop as well, but it hurt my head quite a bit so 1
attempt was enough for today. Other than that it was perfect mad full on
wave sailing at Borth with loads of big jumps, lots of white water, so very
bumpy runs to avoid big waves and some nice backside wave-riding.
