MOTLEY CREW
Windsurf
|Issue 431 - March 2024
The Motley Crew meet-up for their annual bash to see if they can tame the ferocious Storm Elin, which had gusts of up to 70mph.
WISH LIST
After a busy few months on the road in October and November it was with welcome relief to finally be back in the UK for the run up to Christmas. While I was away, I had missed a multitude of storms and epic windsurfing days all over the country, but now it was my chance to hopefully score some decent action before Christmas. Early December was miserable with floods, freezing cold weather and not a glimmer of sunshine, but it did not take long before Storm Elin appeared on the radar promising 75mph westerly winds combined with a three-metre swell in the channel and clearing skies through the afternoon. If you asked Santa on your Christmas wish list for a perfect Niton forecast with all the trimmings, just below that subscription to Windsurf Magazine, a new wave board, a set of sails and a three-month trip to Hawaii, then this one was pretty much as good as it gets.
