Mood: waiting for wind

20th October 2008
Windsurfing: Camber - Little Maui Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 27knots + Surf / Sea State: bumpy Air Temperature: ok Sea Temperature: ok Weather: sunny & windy Max Speed: Distance Covered:
Got to Camber earlyish, Ray & Scott already rigged 4.0m & 4.4m with 80ish
litre wave boards. Did the walk over to check conditions anyway, and get
accurate wind reading. Solid 25 knots, gusting 30, and increasing gradually
too.
Harry & Bryn came over the dunes with their boards to check the conditions,
closely followed by Ray & Scott. We waited to see how the guinea pigs did,
and once they'd eventually made it to the water, they both planed straight
off the beach no problems.
As suspected it was going to be 4.3m Diva weather for me, and board choice
was limited to the freewave 95.
I'd rigged up, and was ready to get suited as the rest of the riff raff
rocked up. There were around 20 of us out while I was on the water, and
still one or two turning up as I packed up, my session cut a little shorter
than planned through some 'kit damage'. The freewave 95 was pretty bouncy
out there, as sections were very corrugated. There were some pretty big
lumps of water moving about out there today !! Anyway ..... I'll hopefully
fix the wife's sail before she notices, and the nose of the board needs
some tlc too :-(
