1st January 2005
Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: S-SW Wind Stength: 18-35 knots Surf / Sea State: 2-4 foot surf Air Temperature: 10ºC Sea Temperature: 10ºC Weather: Squally showers Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Started off just powered in the gusty Southerly winds, but with some nice
clean waves. Out the back I was well powered with the 5m, but in amongst
the whitewater with the current I was struggling. Dunk and Neil were out
with 7m and 9m kites.
Came back in for a bit and sat out a horrible rainstorm, the wind then
eased a little and Chris and Mike went out kiting. As the wind then filled
in again I got back out on the water. Just powered up again to start with
and then it filled in properly. As it got to a proper 25 knots I saw Chris
and Mike ditch their kites and all of a sudden I was off and flying and
having a whale of a time. The swell picked up and there were some nice big
faces out the back. The wind just kept increasing then, and I had about
half an hour while it was just perfect and then it became a survival
session. By the time I got off the water the wind was hovering around 26-30
knots with some 35 knot gusts.
Could have change down to the 4.5m but by then I had had enough.
Not a bad way to start off the year!!!
