23rd September 2004 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 18-25 knots Surf / Sea State: 2-3 foot surf Air Temperature: 15ºC Sea Temperature: 16ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Got to the beach and was greeted by a 22 knot wind and sunshine. It had been windier earlier, so I quickly got out on the water with my 5m and big board.... Not enough wind so i bobbled out, floated downwind, fell inhad a nightmare waterstarting and the floated downwind again. Eventually got planing on the way in. Thought it felt as though the wind had picked up, so gave it another go. Just got onto the plane and once quite a way out, was planing nicely. Gybed and headed back to the beach and managed to hold my ground, so gybed early and had another run to gain some ground upwind. this time I was maxed out and flying along...Ended up where I started from, so stayed out. Now really well-powered up and having a lovely time. Some nice 2-3 foot waves and plenty of power. The sun was shining and there was a really ice autumnal light which just made things even better. After a while I was getting too overpowered so cam in and put some more downhaul and outhaul on. I contemplated changing down to the smaller board, but stuck with the bigger one. The wind kept blowing at around 25 knots, the sun kept shining and I had a lovely time blating around on my own... That board can be quite fast when well powered up with a small sail too. |
