Earlier in the year, I was getting a bit worried that global warming was starting to disrupt the normal flow of low pressure systems across the Atlantic to the UK. Only time will tell us if that really is the case, but today we finally had a decent weather system hit the UK. It was certainly blowing. Stacked on 4.7s, a solid 25kt wind, head high rolling swell, clear blue skies and full sun. Today was one of those special windsurfing days when it all comes together.
You know it's properly windy when there are people standing on the beach trying to psych themselves up to go out. After an hour and a half or so I came in for a break. When I went back out, I changed down to a 4.2 which kind of helped, but it was still full on. Gybing was a nightmare - bearing away picking up speed with the board bouncing all over the place...
