29th March 2008 Windsurfing: Blithfield Wind Direction: S / SSW Wind Stength: F4-7 Surf / Sea State: Flat Air Temperature: 10 Sea Temperature: V cold Weather: Drizzle, some brightness Max Speed: Distance Covered: Wind coming over the dam means flat water, but usually gusty. Today the gusts seemed much longer so with the right size sail you could be well powered up most of the time. Looked to be very little wind when we arrived but it was deceptive and there was plenty for 6.7m on the Techno. Excellent for gybe practice on the flat water and made some progress experimenting to improve windy gybes. The wind was building though and changed down to 5.3 and 90 litres. Water still quite flat so could really fly along - had some fantastic blasts right across the lake. Big difference gybing with the smaller sail - the apparent wind keeps the 6.7 sheeted in, but it is easy to sheet out too soon with the 5.3. Again made some progress by trying different things - had some big crashes, but also made a lot of well powered gybes. Water really cold, hopefully should soon warm up with the longer days and sun higher in the sky. Wind gauge was showing 50 mph for a while and 5.3 a bit much at times. Overall a brilliant session with flat out blasting and lots of gybes. |
