25th October 2009 Windsurfing: Posh Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F5-6 Surf / Sea State: bumpy Air Temperature: ok Sea Temperature: ok Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Was all set to go to Camber when I woke up, but I was reigned in when it became apparent that disappearing for the day to leave a hungover wife with the nippers wasn't going to be an acceptable course of action. So I opted for a local sail and got myself down to Posh at about 11.30. Usurf looked pretty stacked on a 5.0 and Big Mark was changing down to a 5.3, so after starting to rig my 5.0, I was reminded of Basher's 'windiest at midday' comment and opted for the 4.5 instead. It was a good choice for most of the day, although there was quite a long lull shortly after launching when I thought I may have made the wrong choice. I tried to get Usurf to apply some peer pressure, but my first few loop attempts were pretty half hearted. Then I had a bit of a breakthrough in the last half hour when I was the only one left on the water. I set myself the target of 10 loop attempts in the next five runs out. I must be autistic or something, because the counting really helped. Most were pretty rubbish attempts, but the fear retreated a fair way by the end. I also started going for more moves, so tacks and duck gybes on my weak side. It felt really good to be trying stuff and I came off the water well happy. And in the middle of all the learning, I got some great grooveriding in - some pretty high floaty jumps and for about half an hour the waves got quite big and there was some fun to be had with them to (not 15 bottom turns fun though). Very pleased with the whole day. |
