Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: NW Wind Stength: 10-15 knots Surf / Sea State: 2-3 foot surf Air Temperature: 9ºC Sea Temperature: 9ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: 18.2 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 3.1 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Just not enough wind to cope with the waves. Went out with Impi and rigged
my 6.7m sail and biggest board (a very old 95ltr Sputnik) with a 36cm
fin... But even that wasn't enough to get me going. Impi was struggling
with his 7m and 106ltr board too.
Had a couple of runs followed by a walk up wind, then stood around watching
for wind before trying one last go. This time I did manage to get planing
properly and even made it out the back eventually. I may even have gained
some ground upwind whilst out the back, but as soon as i turned a round I
caught one wave and had no choice but to ride it all the way in loosing
loads of ground in the process and resulting in another long walk back
upwind. Grrrrr... Some days just aren't meant to be.
Another 10 knots would have been nice!
