20th June 2003
Windsurfing: Normans Bay, Pevensey Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 3 Surf / Sea State: Slight swell Air Temperature: 21 Sea Temperature: 15 Weather: Sun/pt cloud Max Speed: Distance Covered:
At last got a chance to try out the 'new' Starboard Carve 123 against which
I'd traded in the 310.
Got planing a couple of times but in all not a good session. It was dam
hard work all the time, and every planing run carried the penalty of an
upwind slog to get back. The Carve felt very 'light' and not really
comfortable over the waves, even though the chop was slight . Don't know if
it's the board, or just me more used to the older 310 (RIP). Also found
the footstraps a tad on the small side, and were so far outboard that my
heels would drag in the water if not careful. Also got tired too quickly,
so all in all a disappointing first session on my Home Turf this year.
