Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Onshore wavey Air Temperature: Feckin cold (7) Sea Temperature: Even colder Weather: Overcast Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Took the gamble last Friday of changing my day off this week from Wednesday
to Tuesday and it paid off. A decent couple of hours 1.30-3.30pm at
Shoreham. Wasn't all that windy when I arrived so reluctantly pulled out
the 5.9 but just as I was about to start rigging up the wind seemed to pick
up a notch so I took a chance and rigged the 5.2. Correct decision - with
downhaul adjustments for the increasing wind this was just right for the
whole session.
Conditions were generally good, with some decent ramps pushing in for
jumping and a spot of backside riding (although nothing like as good as at
Daymer Bay!). Only problem was the feckin cold. Started off with the gimp
hat (for the first time ever) but by covering my mouth it was really
restricting my breathing, so took it off after a couple of runs. Was fine
without but still the general coldness really stopped it being a
"go-for-it" session.
Anyway, still good to get out, and would be a 4 star session but because of
the low temps only 3.
Thank you Steve for the borrowed harness line! (my old starboard one
snapped clean in two when landing a big-ish jump flat and hooked in grrrr)
