11th November 2006 Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Colder Sea Temperature: Colder Weather: Sunshine then cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered: After a brief break the autumnal windy weekend theme continued today. I was expecting the breeze to fill in around 9am and with high tide at 3pm I planned for an early start. No wind first thing but nevertheless I optimistically got in the van. And no wind when I arrived at the beach. Rigged up the 5.8 and got a book out to read on a prom bench since it was nice and sunny. About 1 hour later there was still no wind to speak of. Pat and Basher turned up and decided to be the guinea pigs, and jammy gits as soon as they hit the water the breeze picked up! Grrr I could have stayed in bed. Anyhoo...at least I had already rigged up, so the (winter) wetsuit was quickly donned. And there followed a pretty crappy session. Mostly well powered, but choppy-shorebreaky-waveless sh*te. Barely a flat patch anywhere for easy manouevring, and my shins and ankles soon became mega-cramped trying to keep the board on the corrugated water. After about an hour or so with the wind now picking up I considered changing down to the waveboard to try and help smooth things out, but on coming in to the beach the wind died which left me with a very good excuse to pack up. Not great but at least I got out. Better is expected of the first few days of next week. |
