11th September 2004
Windsurfing: Broad Haven Wind Direction: S - W Wind Stength: F5-7 Surf / Sea State: From great waves to very messy Air Temperature: 17C Sea Temperature: 17C Weather: sun & showers Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Brilliant wave faces - around 3-6ft, but wind a little too light for 6.2m
on the 86l wave board. Some great wave riding - even managed a few
frontside rides :->
After an hour or so I came in to tighten the downhaul as wind was picking
up - & the heavens opened. Big time. I took to sheltering under the sail
but the rain was horizontal, blown by gale force wind. That was it - game
over. Time for a kip in the car.
About 4pm, the wind started to fill in again, so back out I went. After 15
mins of being slightly underpowered, it picked up to a solid F6. Ok, time
for board & sail change... Out with the 78l JP & good 'ole 4.7m Zeta.
Trouble is wind had swung oinshore & the sea was really messy.
Still, had a good, tiring time. Packed up about 7pm
