Windsurfing: Cooden Wind Direction: SSW/SW Wind Stength: F5 Surf / Sea State: confused Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Fairly dodgy afternoon. Turned up at high tide to be faced by a very
unfriendly shorebreak and wind of dubious strength. Lots of people hanging
around vans, but no action. Rigged my 6.5m and most people thought I would
be glugging. Went out and was nearly blown off the water. Added to that,
my kit just felt big having spent the last few sessions on small kit. The
sea was incredibly lumpy and the chop was coming from all directions - I
noticed that just about everyone was sailing like a donkey, especially me.
Changed down to 5.7 and by then the wind had picked up, so probably would
have been ok on a 5m. The sea state was so dodgy though - never really
come across it so wierd. The session was rounded off by some fool dumping
me in by gybing on me. That just doesn't happen at Cooden, but it was an
accident so ho hum.
