Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: Small waves Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I had a really nice Hove session this afternoon. I knew KS was there
early, but held off and achieved some work before bolting to the beach at
3:30pm to join the King. Bonus to find Bill and Tim already there. 5m Ezzy
on little wave board was alright for blasting, but the slight bit of
offshore meant that there was a lack of oomph on the inside where the dinky
waves were appearing. As usual at that spot, a long wave ride is only
possible if you can keep joining a succession of peaks that have slight
downwind angle to them rather than straight at the beach. Without a bit of
float this is very hard in small waves so I switched to the freestyle board
with a bit more success if not exactly stylish.
Although it was a bit light at times and sets were infrequent, you could
still feel the potential and its rare for us to even get a sniff of cross
off conditions. The extra wind that is funnelled along the trough is my
favourite bit and you just knew that that wind direction with a chest high
swell would have been unbelievable. . It was a surprisingly upbeat
atmosphere given it was the day after the day before. More like this
please.
