Windsurfing: Camber Sands - Las Dunas Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F5 - 7 Surf / Sea State: Big lumps !! Air Temperature: fine Sea Temperature: fine Weather: Overcast and drizzle, then rain, then cleared Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Another quality Camber session, marred only by personal lack of fitness for
the windy wavey stuff !!
First time using the new toys, new board, sail, wetsuit, harness, uj,
extension .... and happy with them all !!
Fun session, tough at first as marginal wind for 4.7m on the twin, with
some huge waves drilling us back to shore. Filled in a bit and all was
coooool.
Some waves were at least 3/4 mast high, maybe even fully mast high ....
officially buttock clenching high when heading out and over them hoping the
wind didn't do a bunk and leave you at the mercy of a big one !!
Not my finest performance, seemed to need to catch my breath too often for
my liking, so was either a tough session, or being office based hasn't
helped my fitness one bit. Probably a bit of both in truth.
Popular sport this windsurfing, at least 40 people out from Las Dunas on
one count, and more came as others left so wouldnt be surprised if over 60
got out over the day, plus all thiose who played the tides and sailed from
Jury's Gap !!
Lets hope the interval between sessions isnt so long next time !!
