26th September 2004 Windsurfing: WSM Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: F4-6 Surf / Sea State: Messy with big waves Air Temperature: 14C Sea Temperature: Weather: drizzly, overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered: Looked breezy at home - despite the forecast - so thought I'd shoot down for the evening tide. Arrived @ 4:00pm to drizzle & a good, solid F4. People were out on 5.5s but it felt to me more like 6.2m conditions, on the 86l Goya. Perfect! There were some of the largest waves I've ever seen @ WSM, esp as the tide came right up. Some of the highest jumps I've ever made! Wild I came ashore to find a white transit slowly being devoured by the tide & joined in with 7 or 8 others trying to push it back up the beach - owner nowhere in sight. Struggled as we might, we couldn't shift it until a guy in a car with some rope offered a hand. The car, plus 8 people pushing, just about managed to get it free & pushed back up the beach. I'm not sure if the owner ever noticed. After that, the wind had picked up & I was well overpowered. I managed to tear off a harness line landing from one jump. About time I learned to jump unhooked! As there was only another 45 mins of daylight, I decided it wasn't worth re-rigging. Loads of people out - Nomads Al Donald turned up, as did Tony Low, Nigel Poulton & Sav (just as it was going dark!). A really great session. |
