17th November 2006 Windsurfing: Eastbourne Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: F7-8 Surf / Sea State: massive Air Temperature: ok Sea Temperature: ok Weather: sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: took on the b*astard beach that spat me out back in Jan. Three regulars out when I arrived - all three v.good sailors - and they looked to be having fun. The launch looked fine this time so went to get my kit. PaulP turned up and impressively got down to rigging without his bottom lip wobbling at all. Just as we were about to pick our kit off the lovely grassy rigging area, two of the guys came in swearing it was the biggest they'd sailed it and admitting defeat. They were on 4.0m and 4.2 and the guy left out was on 3.7 - we had rigged our smallest sails, me 4.5 and Paul 4.8 Still, had some demons to banish so went for it and yes I was massively overpowered, but it was fine. Huge areas of white water, but they were pretty easy to miss and well spaced. The ramps were huge, so heaven for me and Ray was ripping up the waves so plenty of rideable stuff, but wasted on me. Only bummer was twisting my ankle landing nose first. Managed a couple more runs after that, but foolish really and the thing is giving me hell now. Big respect to Paul. He took a beating from a mountain of water, a bit like Robbie in the Pipeline - one minute he was sailing along, coming in. Next thing, this monster just came up behind and ate him. It spat his kit out quite far away from him so was a bit worried, but he appeared on the beach about 10 mins later with a fair walk back. He walked back to the launch spot and went for it again - top drawer effort Top day, really chuffed I went for it. |
