Windsurfing: Golf Course Car Park, Borth Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 16-18 knots Surf / Sea State: 1 foot messy surf Air Temperature: 20C Sea Temperature: 16C Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A lovely, surprise session this evening. When I got home I was greeted by a
14 knot SW wind, so went straight out for a sail.
It was really warm, and the sun was shining, so I thought I'd give it a go
even though it looked as though there wasn;t quite enough wind. However, by
the time I rigged (which only took about 5 minutes), the wind had filled in
to about 16 knots and I was able to get straight on the plane and head out
through the small, messy surf. There was one guy out kite-surfing, but he
stopped as soon as I got on the water, probably because the wind was
picking up. There was also a couple of other people flying foils on the
beach.
I had a really good sail, skimming across the warm water, I made every
single gybe and came out of most of them planing. Some of them were just SO
smooth too, I was loving it. I just wasn't thinking about it at all and it
all seemed to work fine and with very little effort I was was just carving
around and going back in the opposite direction.
I made quite a few nice, controlled jumps off the rolling swells out the
back too. The swells were alos providing perfect 'berms' to carve around
on.
The wind continued to pcik up until I was verging on being maxed out
towards the end, btu all in all it was a perfect session, well-powered up
in easy conditions.
