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.
