Windsurfing: Golf Course Car park, Ynyslas Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 18-25 knots Surf / Sea State: 1-2 foot messy surf Air Temperature: 13ºC Sea Temperature: 12ºC Weather: Grey and damp Max Speed: 26.0 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 34.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
After kitesurfing for a while the wind filled in so I went windsurfing.
Rigged the 5.7m and Sputnik to start with but after a couple of runs it was
obvious that things were a little too lively for this combination, although
I did get some big jumps and a top speed of 26 knots in amongst the
waves!
I put on loads more downhaul and outhal and went out on my Smaller, more
controlable board for an hour. Maxed out the whole time with some reallyt
nice big jumps and some mad lay down gybes on the face of the big swells
out the back. The wind filled in even more so I rigged my 5m and went out
with that, then it settled down at around 22 knots so I changed back to the
5.7m for the last hour.
Perfect blasting conditions with some fairly big swells out the back.
