30th October 2005 Windsurfing: Ythan Estuary, Aberdeen Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 20-35mph Surf / Sea State: Flat, some chop Air Temperature: Warm Sea Temperature: Warm Weather: Damp Max Speed: Distance Covered: Cracking session. Well powered up on the Synchro and 5.8 Flight to start with, and the water was nice and flat. Great opportunity to practice gybes, and was planing round most of them which was great. The wind kept on picking up, and soon became a bit mental with the 115L board getting bounced around, especially at the corners, so swapped it for the Bic Tribal, which was much easier to handle in the conditions, particularly as the chop had started to pick up a bit. The wind kept on increasing, and so swapped the 5.8 for the 5.0m MC Wave, which was perfect for about an hour and a half, with fantastic mad blasts across the estuary, with the odd chop hop here and there, and then really cranking round the gybes at the ends of each run. Fantastic! Was really getting dialled into the board and sail combination, and was managing to plane round quite a few of the gybes which I hadn't been managing on this board for a while, must be all the practice I've been getting over the last couple of months. The wind was still increasing, and eventually the 5.0m was just too big, even with masses of downhaul on, so called it a day after 3 hours of fantastic conditions, and good craic whith the guys and girls who were making the most of the conditions - must have about 15 - 20 people out sailing, but still plenty of room for everybody. Great session - despite the stinging rain at the end! |
