1st December 2002 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car Park, Borth Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: 20-30 knots Surf / Sea State: 5 foot messy surf Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny spells Max Speed: Distance Covered: We had a good days windsurfing today. First Steve and I went out from the Golf Course Car park. I had a 5.0m sail and my 75ltr wave board, Steve had a 5.3m sail and his 88 ltr wave board. The conditions were pretty mad, with walls of whitewater for miles out to sea and a strong Westerly (onshore) wind. Really we should have sailed from the Lifeboat Station. I got on the water first and had a good run straight out through the whitewater with some big floaty jumps. It was difficult to get out the back properly, and on the two occasions that I did it was pretty scary on the way back in anyway as I had to bear away to avoid the huge walls of whitewater that were chasing me, meaning I was flat out over the choppy water and blinded by the sun at the same time! We had a good sail anyway and sort of decided just to blast up and down in the shallows. It was still possible to jump on both tacks like that and it meant we could avoid getting munched by the bigger waves out the back. After a couple of hours we had a rest and some lunch and Rob (Army Rob) turned up at the beach. He rigged a 5m sail and his smallest (88ltr) board and we all went back out again. The conditions were OK for half an hour, but then the wind started to pick up even more and we all got blown off the water in the end. So, we packed up and headed around to the estuary. |
