6th December 2009 Windsurfing: Westward Ho! Wind Direction: sw Wind Stength: f5 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered: After a 12hr night shift i met up with Stu who drove us down. Had to sit about for a bit drinking coffee waiting for the tide drop.Once it did it looked reasonable 5m weather with cross on & big out the back. Andy a local turned up as we were about to hit the water, but there was no one else about(but he was armed with a camera).On the way out,plenty of ramps for jumping & gybing on & easy, on the way in though with the tidal push's? it was hard to stay up wind getting pushed sideways by the strengh of the sea. Stu got off for a bit after pulling his shoulder, & the wind started getting a bit holey,always in front of a big 1,i had a few wallow gybes in front of some big faces, 1 time floating clew 1st & getting picked up by a big wave right to the top just as it broke & dropping/falling the down the face as it broke & as the sail powered up i managed to flip it & ride to white water, its the heart in the mouth moments like that that make windsurfing so great & why i love it... We had a good couple of hrs sailing with very varible conditions. But i had to call it day when avoiding a kitters lines (Airspace) & catching the fin on the bottom & getting catapulted, resulting in a broken harness & broken nose on the board, i was on starboard tack & maybe next time i wont be getting out of the way check out a pic here http://howard-windaddiction.blogspot.com/ |
