Windsurfing: Ballephuill, Tiree Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: F5-7 Surf / Sea State: 4-6ft Air Temperature: OK Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Over the sand dunes to be greeted by the sight of perfect waves held up by
the cross off winds. Rigged a 4.7 but took out the big board as it was
really iffy on the inside.
Getting out was tricky as there were patches of zero wind, but the waves
were fairly gentle so getting rolled wasn't a kit breaker. Catching the
wave on the way in was an art form in itself though the pro's made it look
effortless. Managed to get 3 bottom turns on one wave before getting
hammered as I mis-timed the pocket.
You don't get much better conditions for wave riding than this in the UK.
