Was working overtime today but after getting a text from Wendy(windblows)
saying it was 14-17knts wnw & the sun was shinning decided to leave work at
2pm which would give me time for the drive from melksham to wsm via
home.Quickly checked the station via internet when i got home- 17-21knts
wnw,& still sunny,lovely.
Got down at about 3.45pm with a few out & lots rigging,super quick riggin
opted for short sleeve wetsuit as it aslmost felt like Summer! On by
3.55pm.
5.7 was perfect size,the wind very constant,was plenty of ramps about for
jumping gybing etc.
Had a play off the end of the pier for for a while untill the waves died
down(water getting to deep). Then headed with John up to Uphill end of
wsm,where its shallower.Up this end loads of waves & largish swell out back
to play on,but the wind was increasing as was really overpowered now but
couldnt be bothered to change down (Should have really), instead cranked on
loads of downhall which helped but still Opowered.
Out the back it was getting very Bumpy even on the swells, which combined
with being sooo Opowered, made it quite hairy, having to bear off the wind
loads in the air when jumping which made for super fast landings or end up
spinning into wind.All good fun.
After a few Caltapult/swing round the front(very amateur) decided to call
it a day.
An excellent day & hopefully a hint of things to come for the summer as wsm
does do the summer/sea brezze thing qiute well...
Must have been 25/30 w/surfers & 10 kiters/roadblocks out! very busy..
