Windsurfing: Rhosneigr Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F6 Surf / Sea State: Head high Air Temperature: 11 Sea Temperature: OK Weather: Sun then cloud Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Wind had swung round a little from the forecast the day before, so it was
more cross-on than cross shore, but still an excellent direction for
Rhossy. A few lulls at first but 4.7m was perfect with 90 litres. As the
holes filled in I wacked on more outhaul and later as the wind increased a
little I changed down to the JP 69. This board is perfect so long as the
wind is up, does not get blown about, soft landings but recovers quickly
and just cuts through the chop - even made a gybe on the outside.
Eventually felt a little overpowered - pulled on more downhaul - head very
floppy and 3rd batten stating to fall away, but it really reduced the power
and still felt good. The Combat seems to be very tuneable.
Very few people out - 4 or 5 max at any one time - the run of windy weather
has probably used up everone's suppply of days off / excuses.
An almost perfect session
