Windsurfing: Shoreham Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: Session time = 11.15am-12.40pm Surf / Sea State: HT@7.45am Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Rain :( Max Speed: Distance Covered:
By Monday morning (2 days post-incident) my ankle was feeling much better
so with the wind blowing hard I made the request for a last minute swap of
my morning off and hot footed it to Shoreham. On arrival it was proper
honking so rigged 4.5 and for the first half-hour all was good. Perfectly
powered and sailing well I was loving being out in the full on conditions
with plentiful jumps, planing gybes and even the occasional backside
bum-wiggle being scored. Playtime however was curtailed when the heavens
opened making sailing uncomfortable and often painful forcing all but a mad
few off the water to run for cover. The rain didn't ever clear completely
so I never got back into my comfort zone and consequently quits was called
slightly earlier than planned. A shame but the good bit at the start made
the session well worth the effort. Turns out I may well have caught the
best of it as the rain did not stop all afternoon and some were rigging
sub-4.0s as I left!
