Windsurfing: Westward Ho! Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F5 Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Arrived at 10am & met Stu/Oli who had been there for nearly 2 hours, not
alot of wind & bucket loads of rain.
Not alot to do other than watch plug & play in the van,the rain cleared
at 11.30 & the wind picked up nicely.I opted for a 5.0m but took the big
96lt board,there looked to be some big waves out there.This combo worked
well,as the wind was a bit holey, but the extra lts certain helped,wallow
gybing in front of big waves then picking them up & riding them back in
fully powered, & the riding was very good with over head high waves, riding
clean green sections backside for quite a way.The swell was certainly
pushing in, out the back they were logo easily. After some more heavy rain
the sun came out & the wind increased some more,should have changed down
board but couldnt be bothered, by now the sea was pushing hard, with the
water coming up to the pebbles, then receding 30mts,so 1 sec your stood on
sand ,the next in waist high water struggling to stand up.
got off after 3 hours cus the other 2 got off, but wished i stayed on as
soon as i drove off! A strange day but in the end a good day
