19th September 2006 Windsurfing: Cooden Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: 14-18 knots ish Surf / Sea State: not as flat as perhaps thought Air Temperature: fine Sea Temperature: fine Weather: windurfing weather ! Max Speed: 26.9 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: Cooden, cross-shore, picking up all afternoon. Loads of us out, even couple of tea-baggers. 6.0m-ish weather, sunshine, some nice ramps, not really a flat water session. Only one idiot out on 7.0m rig & slalom board, yep, me ! Quality session as it turned out, up to the point which confirmed it was time to go home. One big M/F lump of timber corked up in front of me as came over back of a wave at 24-26 knots ... totally unavoidable, tried to jump it as only option but still caught fin on it .... nett result ... followed by sailing back moderately overpowered with a nice windsurfing hawaii waist harness as replacement fin .... for the sake of avid waveboard test reader, the board became very LOW GRIP, yet I still came in 3 beaches upwind of my startpoint .... very skatey feel, and nice to have no harness with a 7.0m sail in proper wind The only real saving grace was that i'd had a good session, in a shorty, and clocked 26 knots on the gps in less than ideal (ie bit bumpy) speed conditions before hitting the self destruct button ps ... anyone finds a Nik Baker Slalom 40cm fin washed up in next few days, i'd quite like it back. It'll still have the bolts in it as they ripped right through the fin box |
