Windsurfing: Hayling Island - NWF Wind Direction: SE Wind Stength: F3 Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Warm Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Another fantastic National Windsufing Festival down at Hayling Island.
Perfect conditions to allow both non-windsurfing spectators (lots!) and
competitors some fun.
Very little wind in the morning so sailed the long-board up to the start
area, but then it felt like it picked up a bit, so ran back and got my
Manta. It was just about okay for the day, so the longboard sat on the
beach until the end when it needed sailing "home".
Had quite a good day, with 17th, 24th, (61st) and 7th place races, leaving
me in 15th at the end of the day. Didn't sail on Sunday so my final place
will unfortunately be much worse!
Still the best windsurfing event of the year, I can't understand why some
people don't go - guess if they've never been they don't know what fun
they're missing ;)
