8th February 2004 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 25-30 knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot rough surf Air Temperature: 6ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Another mad day on the beach. I waited today until the tide had dropped quite a bit and tried to gather my strength after yesterdays sessions. By 11.30am the wind had dropped off a little but was still around the 25-30 knot mark with some 35 knot gusts. I rigged my 4.5m and my wave board and got out there while the kite-surfers were deciding what to do. The wind steadied at around 26 knots and it was perfect once again. More cross-shore today so better for jumping and with the closely spaced waves I was able to take off from one wave and clear the wave behind it whilst still in the air. There were some nice big waves out the back too and I had a good time in amongst the whitewater. Staying upwind with my little fin and the strong longshore current was difficult, but thakns to the strong winds possible. Derek came out with a kite but was a little too overpowered so went back in again and set up a 4m kite instead. Although by the the wind had eased a little bit more and I was now having trouble staying upwind, so Derek wne t back out with his 10m kite. The other kiters had all gone home a while ago and I couldn't be bothered to rig a bigger sailed, so packe up and came home too. Another nice windy day with rough seas and sunshine though. |
