9th November 2013 Windsurfing: Newgale Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 11 Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: Wind quite onshore and light and I was undecided until I saw another windsurfer way downwind. He was planing so I gave it a go. Got out through the waves on second attempt, planing some of the time, gybed round and was anticipating a good ride in - wrong, could not get planing as the waves and wind were not combining to give a push. Looked back and saw a big one and it took me down. Long swim in, a long way down wind, walked back upwind. Cut finger, very minor, but kept bleeding with the water on it, blood all over hand and kit. Messed around in the shallows and was about to pack up when wind swung dead onshore and picked up. I could plane in both directions parallel with the shore - lovely smooth water, big gaps between waves. Flat out blasting and gybing until it was nearly dark - made it all worth while. |
