Windsurfing: Pevensey Wind Direction: NW/W Wind Stength: F3-4 Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: getting warmer Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Pitched up (met up with a mate) expecting no wind as the cloud had
scuppered the big potential for a sea breeze. And sure enough, no wind,
but the sun had just burnt the cloud away. Waited for about half an hour
and at 4pm white horses started to appear - it was low tide and at the
waters edge there was still no wind. My mate had big kit so thought I'd at
least keep him company on the water with mine but didn't expect to get up
and planing. Very pleasantly surprised then that I stepped on and was
almost instantly powered up. Those kind of conditions are never going to
be truly exciting but I hadn't been out for so long that any planing time
was a bonus. Came in and swapped boards so got to try some new super short
slalom thing and it seemed to go well, although the wind was beginning to
drop off by then, so unfortunately ended up with a small walk of shame as
the tide flow increased and the wind dropped. Still, very worthwhile
bunking off the afternoon in the office.
