8th May 2004 Windsurfing: WSM Wind Direction: WNW Wind Stength: F3-5 Surf / Sea State: Some small swells Air Temperature: 10C Sea Temperature: still too cold to wa Weather: Overcast. Occasional rain. Max Speed: Distance Covered: Down on the beach for 08:30 with very little expectation of finding any wind. Although yesterday's forecast was promising, there wasn't a breath of wind all the way down to Weston. On the beach, a reasonable F4, dead onshore. Bizarre. Went out with my 6.2m at first, planing about 40% of the time, but was spending too much time wallowing in the lulls and having difficulty getting out through the breakers with it being so onshore. When the wind dropped slightly, I decided to rerig with my new (to me) 7.4m NP Supersonic. That certainly did the trick. The wind instantly picked up & everyone was flying on their 6m sails. Anyway, I stuck with the 7.4m and - quite simply - had a blast! Pretty much overpowered for much of the time, but I didn't come off the plane in the lulls!!! A really good few hours sail whilst the tide was in - Certainly feeling well stretched as I write this in the evening! The odd thing is - there were only half a dozen boards & about the same no of kites out there. Where were you all? You missed out!! |
