7th July 2009 Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: Session time = 6.30-8pm Surf / Sea State: LT@5.45pm Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: I've not bothered posting much on here recently. Conditions have been really sh*t for the past couple of months - wind has been non-existant or marginal/un-exciting when it has blown. Today at last though solid waveboard windy plus decent tide times for an after-worker at Shoreham. Had to rig my old crappy Rock 4.0 instead of my favourite SF4.5 as it was so windy but glad I did. Perfectly powered to start and jump ramps a plenty. Attempted a couple of forwards straight away which were both cr*p. Fortunately Rod saw them and collared me to tell me in no uncertain terms what I was doing wrong. So back out again with Rod sailing behind, foot off the gas, bearing away much more, no trying to jump big and...rotation...splosh...back slap...and thumbs up from Rod. Apparently there was no doubt it looked like a (very crap) forward with the board ending up pointing into wind, and definitely the most rotation I've achieved to date. It felt 1) completely un-dramatic but also 2) very easy...certainly different to most of my "attempts" to date. I tried a couple more after this but fatigue and increasingly mental wind were getting me frustrated so I reverted to standard groove-riding for the last part of the session. So definite looping progress is being made now. Thank you Rod. Can't wait to go again. :) |
