Windsurfing: Ballephuill, Tiree Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: F7-9 Surf / Sea State: 4-6ft Air Temperature: OK Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Showers Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Different bay but with better waves though it does have a wind shadow from
the right. Another day chasing the wind as I was determined to get some
forward attempts in before it got too windy. Very quickly ended up maxed
out on the small board and sail.
Timing was everything as I tried to stay planing through the white water
ready to launch off the last wave of the set. Got a massive jump (20ft +)
which floated a long way down wind before landing. I was tempted to rotate
into a back loop as the take off was really vertical but bottled it due to
height and windspeed.
Thoroughly excellent day and absolutely shattered dragging my kit back up
the beach.
