19th May 2003 Windsurfing: Lifeboat Station, Borth Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 15-30 knots Surf / Sea State: 4 foot surf Air Temperature: 10C Sea Temperature: 11C Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: What an excellent session. I popped in to see Harvey first of all and he thought there wouldn't be enough wind at that end of the beach, but i thoought I'd give it a go anyway as the waves looked nice. When I measured the wind it was around 18 knots so i rigged my 5.7m sail and big board. However, just as I was getting into my wetsuit, the mother of all squalls came through and along with the rain, the wind suddenly jumped up to something ridiculous. I had to crouch on the floor and hold my kit down just to stop it blowing away. I did think about rigging my wave board and 3.4m sail for a while, but the squall soon passed and the wind dropped back off again. I went out with the big kit in the end and by now there was only just enough wind to get going, so I headed off along the beach a bit and out beyond the shelter of the cliffs where the wind was much better. It soon started filling in again though, so I ended up sailing back up towards the lifeboat station so that I could pllay in the waves. I then had an hour od absolutely perfect conditions. The sun was shining the waves were lingin up nicely and the the wind was perfect. I had some really nice wave rides with loads of turns on the face, then I;d make a nice gybe on the inside, straight into the straps and back out through the waves, usually jumping off the wave that I had just ridden in. Out the back there were some bigger swells that were jacking up nicely to provide perfect ramps for some of the biggest jumps in my life... Wooohooo!!! The wind then went ballistic and there was no way I could hold on, so I decided enough was enough and packed up.... Stoked. |
