Windsurfing: Worthing Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: Session time = 11.30am-1pm Surf / Sea State: HT@1.45pm Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: WtW sunshine :) Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Forecast for today was good but a mid-afternoon high tide necessitated a
drive to Worthing. On arrival at the cafe I was greeted by loads of sailors
changing down from 5.0s so I pulled out the 4.5. But the bloody head
webbing snapped as I was downhauling it ARRRGGGHHH. So the 5.3 was rigged
with some trepidation but this turned out to be a wise choice as the wind
wasn't as strong as anticipated and also gusty.
The first 20mins were great. Ramps galore so I went forward loopy. Scored
loads of good rotations including a couple of stonking big endos that got
the thumbs up from mates who witnessed. Was soooo close to landing them
dry!!! Feel like I could almost claim one but will confess that the
buttocks got wet so no cigar. Loving that move. :)
Unfortunately jumping conditions deteriorated as high tide approached and
then I was victim of more damn webbing failure, this time on my harness,
resulting in a premature close of play. Good fun whilst it lasted though in
glorious sunshine throughout and still plenty warm enough for the dreaded
boots to stay in the van.
