Windsurfing: Point Clear Wind Direction: sw Wind Stength: 18/25 Surf / Sea State: choppy/flat Air Temperature: 9 Sea Temperature: 7 Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 29.41 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 14.58 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
The mild weather not coming until tomorrow !!! so had to make the most of
the cloudy 8/9 degrees of today :( So I met up with speed buddy Pete Cutts
at his home spot and got to sail with someone for the first time this year
!!!! :) We arrived at 10:30 and with the sw blowing 20 mph and hopefully
increasing during the day it was looking good despite the grey cool day, we
both rigged 7m and took our big freeride boards out. With an hour or so
until high tide we had loads of water in the lagoon but the wind was abit
too light and gusty and sw is probably not the best direction for flat
water and fast times !!! West is better and also when the tide breaches the
shingle bank it becomes very choppy :( but we had fun for a couple of hours
trying to find some flat water and wind but the two rarely came together
!!! I am desappointed with the alpha's as the gybing was going well but
just couldn't find 500m of flat water with wind :( We were joined for alot
of the session by Dave White out on his kite gear and it was good to have a
tea and catch up with Pete in his van after :) some the wind and lagoon
didn't play ball :(
