Windsurfing: Jericoacoara, Brazil Wind Direction: E Wind Stength: F***in' windy!!! Surf / Sea State: Small waves/swell on outside Air Temperature: Scorchio! Sea Temperature: Scorchio! Weather: Mucho Sol Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Honk honk!!!! Thar she blows!!!! Hard to compare it directly with other
days, but surely that must have been the windiest day since I've been
here.... At a guess, it was blowing consistently over 30 knots all the
time, with some gusts that felt like a lot more.
The wind kicked in early around 10am, allowing me to go out early again
whilst the tide was still low (11.30am). Mahussively stacked on my 4.6, but
it coped admirably with the job, and I was never so overpowered on it to be
out of control. The lovely little super-controllable wave board under my
feet probably helped quite a lot. The more I sail that board, the more I
like it. The nuking conditions meant I couldn't do much apart from the
usual, i.e. a few big jumps (which kept on getting bigger and more regular
as the wind kept on increasing through the session), a few OK gybes and a
few attempted wave-rides. So, again, nothing new learnt or achieved, but
who cares when you're scaring yourself silly in winds as strong as this....
