Windsurfing: Ynyslas Estuary Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 25-30 knots Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: 4ºC Sea Temperature: 8ºC Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 33.8 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 10.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Woohoo... Mad winds in the estuary!
When I got there it was about 20-22 knots so I rigged my big board
(Sputnik) and my 5.1m speed sail ready for a nice speed sesion once the
channels were defined.
By the time I had rigged the wind was blowing a hoolie and my first few
runs were ridiculously overpowered. Back in, more downahul and a smaller
fin and things were a little more controlled, but never comfortable. I
really should have been on a 4m sail and my wave board, but I stuck it out,
held on and had a pretty good blast in the channel.
When I got back I realised that my top speed had been a pretty impressive
33.8 knots. If I had known I was doing that sort of speed I would have
stayed out a little longer and really gone for it as I hadn't been trying
to go fast at all... I'd simply been concentrating on hanging on as best I
could!
