29th August 2003 Windsurfing: Skegness Wind Direction: N Wind Stength: F5-6 Surf / Sea State: Choppy and brown Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: reasonable Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered: Managed to get away from work at 3.30pm and decided to head to Skegness as it's only 40 miles away. Never been there before and no one responded to my post on the boards web site asking for info but I decided to go for it anyway. Got there at mid tide and managed to park behind a pub on the beach front. After a quick recce I decided to go for the 4.7 with the bigger waveboard; the steep sloping beach hinted at the shore dump that was to come and there was a hell of a rip from the left that took 5 kts off the windspeed. Had a good session but any mistakes were seriously punished by the rip, it literally sucked the sail underneath the board. As a result of this it was a case of don't try anything too fancy. Overall, got a few good jumps and rapid gybes and tacks. The increasing shore dump and the fact that I was on my own on a strange beach eventually made me call it a day. Unexpected as I wasn't expecting to get out this weekend, too busy to go home to Devon, so this was a bonus. |
