Windsurfing: Ynyslas Wind Direction: W Wind Stength: 18-30 knots Surf / Sea State: 2 foot messy surf Air Temperature: 13ºC Sea Temperature: 16ºC Weather: Cloudy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Looked as though it was going to bean epic 5m session with the wind around
25-30 knots, but as I rstarted to rig up it dropped off so I plumped for
the bigger 5.7m sail.
Once on the water there just wasn't enough to get going so I came back in
let of some outhaul and had another go. A few pumps and I got onto the
plane and managed to sail down to the mouth of the estuary where thanks to
the lack of wave there I could finally point upwind a little. I headed
across towards Graveyards, gybed and managed to sail back to Ynyslas
outside of the waves which is where I stayed for a while as the wind
gradually increased.
Before long I was well powered up and flying along and now able to head
upwind and jump off the ramps. I took a run down into Borth and then back
to Ynyslas where I played in the waves for a bit. the wind then started
hitting 30 knots which although OK was really a little too much with my
5.7m sail set so full so I came in and called it a day.
Better than I thought it was going to be at first.
