Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: NNW Wind Stength: 30 knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot surf and crazy chop Air Temperature: 6ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I couldn't resist getting out on the water for a quick windsurf this afternoon, despite running and swimming this morning. I'm glad I
did as it was lovely out there. The wind was steady at around 30 knots, NNW. The sea was super choppy with 3 foot surf, leading to some
big head high waves out the back, perfect for launching into some huge jumps. I even had one really good back loop attempt, but as
usual didn't land it. Just blasting over the ridiculously choppy water in the sunshine woud have been fine without the waves though as
it was pretty challenging out there. There was no one else around, just me and the wind.
I sailed for about an hour and then came in to pack up, it was then that the pleasure changed to pure, unadultered pain. I got halfway
into my coat when it became too much. The agony in my hands from the cold was just too much to bear and I ended up in the feotal
position on the beach gibbering to myself just trying to cope with the pain! It may sound silly but when your fingers freeze and it
suddenly hits, there's nothing you can do, the pain is over-bearing. It did subside after a while and I packed up and headed home, but
they still feel a little weird now!
Serves me right for not wearing gloves whilst windsurfing really.
