16th November 2009 Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 12-35 knots Surf / Sea State: 3-4 foot surf Air Temperature: 11ºC Sea Temperature: 12ºC Weather: Sunny spells and squally showers Max Speed: Distance Covered: What a stupid sport this is! Lovely and windy all morning so I head acros to the beach with lots of kit. It doesn't seem that windy so I rig a 5.6m and my big board but as I do I see a squall coming in so leave that rigged and also rig a 5m and my smaller board. The squall hits with 35 knot winds and I walk down to the waters edge, I have one run over-powered with the 5m, wishing I'd rigged the 4.5m get out the back, gybe and the wind drops. So I wobble and then swim back in, walk back upwind, get the 5.6m and big board and have another go. Again, overpowered at first, then no wind at all so I get smashed by a big wave and have another big swim. Walk back upwind and spend an hour trying to get going but there just isn't enough wind. I do manage one more slightly successful run right out the back, but then end up overpowered on the 5.6m. I walk back up the beach to get my smaller kit as the wind dies again. Rather than give it another go with the bigger kit I give up and go home. Yep, you've guessed it, the wind then blows at 30 knots for the rest of the afternoon and has picked up even more now! Grrrr. |
