Windsurfing: Golf Course Car Park Borth Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 4 Surf / Sea State: 2 foot Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived early to catch the wind as it was forcast to drop off later in the
day. There were a couple of Kiters getting reading to head out. Desperate
to try out my new or rather second hand sail I rigged by 6.4 Jet and headed
out.
It was a bit light to start off with and I only really got planing as I got
further out and then it was just great. The wind did increase slightly
later on, which made the session even better. I was able to plane right
from the beach. I had to try a few settings with the sail until it felt
good and boy does it feel good. The only negative part was I fell in too
much while gybing and then felt a bit sea sick swimming the rig into
position to waterstart. I also found out my upwind ability is rather crap
compared to Al. Something to work on or easier still buy a bigger fin.
All in all a great sesion and well worth the trip. 4 stars
