Windsurfing: Camber Sands Wind Direction: SW'ly Wind Stength: F8 Surf / Sea State: Mast High Waves Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 13 Weather: Sunny with showers Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Got to Camber at about 4.30 and it was nuking. Rigged up and then Grawp
arrived. Headed out on my 4.2 and the 85l k-bay. I'm not going to pretend I
went out the back and rode the mast high monsters, but I had good fun on
the inside getting to grips with the board (which is surprisingly easy to
sail actually). I was totally maxed on the 4.2 and had a few very violent
catapults. But also had some cracking rides with some small (very small)
jumps which I managed to land without going through my sail. I reckon if
I'd had the balls, I could probably have made it out a lot further (well,
maybe!). But I think I'll save that for a day when it's a little less
mental. At the top of the shingle bank towards the end a lad was getting
50mph gusts on his anemometer - and it felt like it!! Probably the windiest
day I've ever seen at Camber!
