Windsurfing: Avon beach Wind Direction: S Wind Stength: 25 knots+ Surf / Sea State: Confused chop/swell Air Temperature: 10 Sea Temperature: Proper badgers. Weather: Rain Max Speed: Distance Covered:
First decent S-SW wind in ages so just had to get out despite lots of work
to do. Got up early for a morning session so I could get back to work in
the afternoon. Martin and co. were "race training" in Poole so didn't meet
up with them unfortunately, but loads of people out, car park was rammed
when I left at 1pm.
Very rusty and un-fit from not having sailed for 5 weeks so not a very
satisfying session. Also conditions were difficult, confused water state
and no proper waves. And bloody cold water plus painful horizontal rain at
times. Wasn't pulling off any gybes or decent jumps, and got spanked on
several occasions. Starting to not like Avon so much; water state always
seems to be really confused and difficult. Much prefer Hayling Island, will
go there next time.
Despite poor performance, great to get out in decent wind and take my mind
off the work situation.
