23rd October 2002 Windsurfing: Castletown, Isle of Man Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 15-25 knots Surf / Sea State: Rolling swell Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny spells Max Speed: Distance Covered: I had a good few hours windsurfing at Castletown today. It was way too windy at first, but then Alan turned up with his F2 Powerglide and the wind eased off quite a bit so we rigged 5.0m sails. The wind continued to drop so we both changed up. I went out with a 5.7m and he went out on a 6.0m. But, as soon as we got on the water the wind kicked in again and we were both overpowered. I came back in and grabbed my 5.0m and my wave board while Alan struggled to get back in the increasing wind. He eventually made it back to the beach and also changed down. Would you believe it??? As soon as I got back on the water the wind dropped again and I sunk! I managed to wobble back to the beach to get my bigger kit again, but just as I was walking up the pebbles back came the wind and this time it stayed, so I was able to get back out on the smaller kit. This time the wind remained constant and I was well powered up the whole time. Alan Struggled with his kit as his board was far too big, so he packed up and watched instead. Craig tunred up a little later and came out with a 4.5m sail and we had a couple more hours sailing on the choppy water. I was well powered and occasionally completely maxed out. A good session with some sunny spells and nice little jumps off the rolling swells. |
