Windsurfing: West Wittering Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: HT@12.15pm Surf / Sea State: Session time = all day! Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Rain :( Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Day 2 of the comp at West Witts. Much more wind today as forecast, but bolt
onshore, which made trying to jump/waveride/do anything very difficult -
even the pros were having trouble with their attempts to impress.
Consequently the tricky conditions meant my heats didn't go so well.
Slightly underpowered in the first on the 5.2/waveboard combo but thought I
did ok as I pulled off the requisite 2 jumps and 1 waveride whilst my
fellow competitors were not planing consistently. However only 1 sailor out
of 4 was to go through and alas it wasn't me. So into the repechage heat
for which I took out the Freewave with my underpowered heat 1 experience in
mind but now I was on the very well side of powered up and felt encumbered
by the extra board size under my feet (well that's my excuse anyway) - so
did basically feck all of interest to the judges. :(
Still, all good fun and there's no doubt competition pushes your sailing
and really motivates you to improve. I'll definitely be entering one again
when the opportunity next arises.
