30th December 2005 Windsurfing: Westward Ho! Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Onshore mushy white water Air Temperature: Mild Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunshine! Max Speed: Distance Covered: Trip to the south-west for a NYE party in Bude and hopefully a few days sailing... Left folks house near Peterborough v early 7.30am with the aim of getting to Westward Ho by early afternoon for a couple of hours on the water before dark and heading onto the weekend party venue. It was snowing(!) when I left, couldn't quite believe that I was to be windsurfing later today... The snow soon turned to rain and it pissed it down all the way to North Devon. Arrived WH 1pm and it was proper windy, onshore slightly cross from the left, and still raining. Met up with Tiree Mark who had already been out there, well powered on a 4.5 he said. Just I was starting to rig up, rain stopped and sun came out...woohoo! Still just as windy but due to the onshore-ness I rigged bigger (5.2) and took out my (new) '03 Skate 90 instead of the wave board. Well powered on this combination but still was not the best of sessions. The onshore wind and constant walls of white-water pushing in made getting out back very difficult, and several ice-cream-head rinsings had to be endured. Still, no complaints, a decent couple of hours in sun and proper wind. The new board felt very nice and good for the onshore wave conditions but a bigger and more swept-back fin would be useful. |
