1/10/10
Arranged with Mike to go windsurfing at Camber Sands, Kent in the morning. After a brief chat with the Kite surfing centre on the front there at low tide we decided to head east to get less on shore conditions. After my first full English breakfast, we found a car park at Romney Sands to park up at and rig up. The wind was absolutely storming easily gusting 30+knots so we headed out on 4.4/4.5m sails and 90Litre boards. After quite a walk out to get to the water as it was low tide we got out in cross shore winds with the wave heading cross on in Southerly wind direction. The waves seemed to be rolling in nicely and we both got some good jumps out there. Later on the wind picked up even more, so I decided to try my 75Litre RRD Wavecult and strap the Gopro HD camera on for the first time (Video below). I found the difference between this and the 91L in cutting through the waves quite something else especially when heading through the break. What a great day to come back to windsurfing in the UK, I found that these were some of the best conditions I had had in the last 3 months maybe minus the driving rain and gloomy skies though.
