Windsurfing: Hayling Island Wind Direction: SW'ly Wind Stength: F4 Surf / Sea State: Small chop Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 15 Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
I had a cracker of a weekend, although I only got two sessions rather than
the planned four. Had a bit of a late start setting off for Hayling on
Saturday due to a hangover from a night on the cocktails on Friday. Got to
Hayling around midday after picking up my mate Julian. It was high tide so
I checked out Esso beach - it was insane! I've never seen so many people
out there, and the carpark was utterly rammed. The only parking option was
on the housing estate opposite the garage,. My mate Jules didn't fancy it,
as it was 4.2 weather, and his one an only sail is a 5.7! Having driven all
that way, I didn't want to desert him, so we went over to Andy Biggs and
did a bit of shopping, then grabbed a drink at the Inn on the Beach. I was
fairly relaxed about missing that session as I didn't fancy carting my kit
miles only to battle for space on the water, and I knew I'd get out that
evening at the beach front when the tide dropped anyway. So my first
session ended up being at 5ish at Hayling. The wind had died back
considerably by then, but I had a very mellow session blasting around on
the 5.8 for the entire length of the beach front for an hour or so before
the wind died. It was really enjoyable and there were plenty of others out
for company.... contd on next post
