Windsurfers at Westward Ho!

I am recently returned from Christmas in a very wet Devon.  Between the weather and seeing my family, I didn't get much opportunity for photography.  However, I did manage my almost traditional Boxing Day visit to Westward Ho!  A morning of continuous rain meant that I didn't get there until lunch time.  The tide was almost fully in, the sky leaden and the wind was blowing hard.  I really wasn't expecting to do much more than get a little fresh air.  Luckily the conditions seemed to suit a few hardy windsurfers, and since I still had the loan of 100-400mm Canon L lens (thanks again Ann), I was about to pass an hour or so shooting the action.
