18th April 2007 Windsurfing: Loch Indaal, Islay Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: 16-25 knots Surf / Sea State: Choppy Air Temperature: 16ºC Sea Temperature: Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: 28.8 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 35.4 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) A full day windsurfing on the choppy waters of Loch Indaal. I launched from Traigh an Luig to the east of the rocky spit. Started with my 6.7m and my new S-Type 104. Nicely powered and managed lots of fast runs, the fastest being 28.8 knots. The wind picked up so I changed down to my 5.7, and was blasting across the loch until level with Bowmore. The wind continued to pick up so I stopped for lunch and packed my 6.7m away and rigged my 5m and Naish Hybrd Freewave. Once again I was nicely powered with the smaller kit but not maxed out and managed a top speed of 26.6 knots. I stayed out for a while with that before going out with the 5m and the S-Type. Top speed with this was now 28.4 knots, but the water was quite choppy by now. On one mad speed run it all went wrong resulting in a huge crash and one very bruised chin! It was really swollen by the evening. A great session on Islay. |
