18th May 2005 Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 16-18 knots Surf / Sea State: 1 foot messy surf Air Temperature: 8ºC Sea Temperature: 10ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: 25.1 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 16.8 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Woohoo, what a session, reminded me of two qiotes from old videos, the first was an old Neil Pryde video where Laird Hamilton said "The feeling I get when I sail a speed board in chop is Pure Joy!".. I know how it felt, what a ride the Sputnik is in small waves and choppy seas. Well powered up the whole time I was pretty much on the edge of control most of the time as the flat rocker line and sharp rails of the Sputnik provded a fast but harsh ride through the chop, Great fun though and pretty hard work as it certainly isn't the most forgiving board in such conditions. The second quote was Robby Naish in RIP when he is sailing is Slalom kit and says something along the lines of "But even when on my slalom kit I just can't resist the temptation to get some air"... Neither could I and with plenty of power and speed, that board flies!. No particularly high jumps but some of the longest jumps I've ever done. I tried a few wave rides on the board as well, but it isn't really made for that, but some of the fast gybes on the face of the waves out the back were fun. All in all a lovely flat out session with the beach to myself. |
