Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 18-25 knots Surf / Sea State: 3 foot rough surf Air Temperature: 14ºC Sea Temperature: 15ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I didn't think there was quite enough wind when I first got to the beach
and nearly didn't bother, but at the last minute thought I might as well
get wet and give it a go. I'm glad I did as the wind soon filled in again
and I had a good session well-powered on the 5.7m. At times I was pretty
maxed out, but on almost every run I'd be underpowered in one area where
the current was really strong and in the same direction as the wind.
Typically, this low-power zone was right in the middle of the white-water
which resulted in some 'interesting' moments and one or two swims.
Otherwise I was well-powered and blasting around the rough waters. Coming
back in the 'low-power' zone would actually be a zone where I was totally
maxed out and able to fly upwind.
Chris was out kiting, and Jonny was on the beach watching after having been
out in the estuary.
