Windsurfing: Hove Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F6 Surf / Sea State: Head high+ waves Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Solid few hours at Hove over lunch. 4.5m ezzy was about right overall, cos
there were some 'calm' periods as well as general high wind craziness.
Four of us out, wind cross on (unfortunately). Launch was still quite
munchy and I squeaked it by the skin of my teeth, when by rights I
should've been mullered!! Set the tone for a great session in pleasantly
large swell. Every wave (even the smaller ones) seemed to have a glorious
moment when they lurched up to full size, mainly overhead right at that
peaky bit. Some of the big swell was certainly 'somewhere' above my head,
and that was me standing upright in the trough to check it out. Was even
bottom turning around the ski lane buoys on a few they were that far out.
DTL involved extreme clew firstyness and it was nigh on impossible to carve
off the lip, but the initial downwind turn was a gift of smoothness. Nice
fun.
Quote "I hung around untll gmac was safely ashore. God knows how he was
hanging on to a 4.5 at that stage." heh heh!
