Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: WSW Wind Stength: F4 Surf / Sea State: Medium waves Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny, boardshorts Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Bought a new board on sunday and had a decent session on it 5 days later.
That doesnt often happen, usually its the kiss of death. Hove was sunny
with small swell rolling in. I was using a 5.9 North Disco with a JP RWW83.
A great combo, so I'm well chuffed, easy planing, loose, not clattering
along, the board loves to swoop round for the onshore wave ride, extra
width keeps it planing at the cut back when the normal wave board might
stall. Backside whallops were exceptional, full 180 degree arcs and lots
of spray. Snappy gybes will take a bit of practise, I guess due to extra
tail width. It stays flat on the surface rather than sinking in as
required. Great afternoon, almost 2 hours in shorts, sun tan weather and
mini rainbows in the spray.
