4th July 2005 Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: W-SW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: April showers Max Speed: Distance Covered: Planned to do some work in the morning/early afternoon, then go for a quick sail once the tide had dropped. Wind filled in big style around 1pm so sped through what I was doing, had lunch, and drove to King Alfred's, via work to print off some papers. Arrived 3pm. Windy, sunny, wavey, too good to be true? Yep. 4.5 weather for about 20 mins. Very nice first run out and back, caught a nice wave backside coming back in. Then it all went wrong. Wind started dropping, shorebreak munched me a couple of times, and then on about my third run out, looked over my back shoulder and some seriously dirty black clouds were heading Hove-wards. Oh sh*t. With the lightening kicking off to the west, blobbed back in as fast as is poss when underpowered on a 75L wave board against a dying veering offshore wind and a beastly downwind rip. Was grateful just to make it back to the beach, despite being a good 5 minute walk-of-shame from my launch point. That's the second time exactly the same thing has happened to me at Hove. I never have a good sail there. I think it's jinxed for me there, yet just down the road at Shoreham my sessions are normally good. A bit like Calshot/Lepe for me last year. At least I got out today though, unlike Basher, Garethh and Billyboy who all turned up too late. |
