Windsurfing: Rhosneigr Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F7 Surf / Sea State: 3m swell Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: Weather: Fine then heavy rain Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Early start to find Rhosy totally going off with about 10 people on the
water by 9am. Wind was forecast to drop in the afternoon so everyone was
going for it.
Swell was breaking all over the bay but not as heavy as it can get. Rigged
up the 4.5 and took the wave board for it's first full-on session in the
sea. Previously I've really struggled to get the wave board going but
today I found the solution. The others I was sailing with were complaining
saying it was too windy (they're never happy!) despite being on the same
size sail or smaller sails than me. I think that my board takes about a
metre off the sail size compared to my brother's Goya so it looks like I'll
have to wait for a F8 before I get to use my 3.7m!
Tried a couple of back loops (still lacking the confidence to try a
forward) and got some good height before landing about 3/4 of the way
around. Need to watch my "Jump" video a few more times! I did manag to
get my best airtime yet when I took a split second decision to hit a 3m
high lump of swell that was steepening up to break. No idea how high I was
but got a good view of the bay!
Rain kicked in at 2pm and the wind completely disappeared, fortunately I
was already ruined so was very content with the early drive home.
