Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 25mph-ish Surf / Sea State: Lumpy choppy mess! Air Temperature: 11ish Sea Temperature: Very cold (7?) Weather: Blazing sunshine!!! Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Aaaahhh at last a proper decent session. Maybe the crappest winter EVER is
finally over.
Couldn't get out of work yesterday for a day of 4.0 weather but fortunately
the wind continued through to today. Went to work in the morning then
pulled a quality skive for the afternoon and headed to Shoreham.
Windy...wall-to-wall sunshine...couldn't believe my eyes!!! Almost felt
like summer...almost. Started off on the 5.2/skate combo but was
overpowered. Tide was still up and lumpy bumpy crap so came in to wait for
it to drop. Changed to the wave board with a bit more downhaul on the 5.2
and was now much better.
No waves to speak of and water was lumpy/choppy as hell. But sun was
shining, wind was constant, can't complain! My sailing was understandably
rusty but all in all a very satisfying and un-painful (i.e. not cold) long
session.
More wind is promised for later this week. Friday looks good hopefully can
pull another morning skive.
