Windsurfing: Daymer Bay Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: Not Enough Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 17 Sea Temperature: Cold Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Had the full day to go windsurfing today so, after much deliberation (and
checking weather sites), I opted for Daymer Bay. It's just over an hour
away and supposed to be good in a NW and I wanted to give it another go as
the last time I sailed there ('96) it was very marginal.
Pitched up and got stung for £3.50 for parking and launching so I was
kind of committed, but the sun was out and one or two were planing so I
stopped there. A few of the other Bigbury regulars had turned up so it was
out for a long walk at low tide with the biggest you've got. In my case an
85L board and 6.2 was not enough so it was a case of trying upwind 360's
with some progress. Tried out a mates JP FS 101 and found it was much
easier on such a wide platform.
Decided to call it a day as there wasn't much happening. Would have been a
no show if I hadn't been stung for the parking but the sun and sailing for
the first time without boots this year (in the UK) upped the rating.
Mental note to get a freestyle board and stop spending all my money on
windsurfing holidays.
