8th March 2008 Windsurfing: Hayling Island, poo bay Wind Direction: sw Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Max Speed: Distance Covered: My first trip to esso beach at Hayling. Rigged the 112 lt bic with a 6.3 sail perfect for whens things first starting out. I got caught out in the wind shadow of the island on the far side a couple of times but nothing too serious. The chop in the middle was good fun as it was the "right " direction for us Brog sailors. As the day went on the wind increased but it also seamed to get very cold, too cold to bother rigging a smaller sail so just added a bit of outhaul! The remainder of the session full on over powered blasting, great fun! I never regarded my bic as a fast board but no one was going past me. I gave up just before 1 as it was getting really cold with the windchill and the water was getting a bit shallow on the first bar, Im always a bit nervous of shallow water after my contact with the bottom a few years ago |
