Windsurfing: Bigbury Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 5ish Surf / Sea State: Waist high Air Temperature: 15 Sea Temperature: 10 Weather: Overcast, rain Max Speed: Distance Covered:
A bit overwhelmed by the apparent size of the swell, rigged up, took ages
because had to change harness lines again when decided to use new MK boom
because I like it :)
Went out ok thru break, got out the back, swell much bigger than I
realised, fell off. Then had to get used to rig recovery in swell, got up,
bit of struggle, came back to beach. Thinks "this is crap, JG..." so headed
out despite body saying "NO!". Ended up going in and out, enjoying ride
back in, practising getting out and rig recovery. Exhausting but good fun,
lots learned/remembered. Surprised how much way lost over large swell, I'm
sure I've been out in that big before and not struggled so much. Suspect
gusty and wind shadow from the island - can't be me!!
