Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F4-5 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Very sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Lunchtime today was classic cruising conditions at Hove. If you could
bottle windsurfing and sell it to the masses, today was the day. Blue
skies, green sea and rainbows in your wake. No wave board, so dug out the
vintage Coppello slalom board. Rigged 5.5m ezzy in 2 minutes flat and it
set PERFECT, one of those days. Perfect size too, just hook in lock it
down and go. Board had a big 28cm fin on so you could get anywhere you
wanted upwind or downwind. No crowds, just seagulls following and the
occasional fish and the happy nudists down past Fat Boy Slim's place. Hove
is excellent like this, the waves were coming from your side, but they were
getting steep and waist high or more. All easy, full power, miles and
miles, sunburn, smiles, happy days, back to basics, nothing wrong with old
boards, groovy. Even finished my last run with a Miami Vice head dip to
flatten the hair down ready for the office.
