Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: s Wind Stength: 15+ Surf / Sea State: choppy Air Temperature: 16 Sea Temperature: 24 Weather: sunny Max Speed: 25.76 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 42 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
With 14 mph forecast and rested from my hectic Thur/Fri we were at The Dip
early to get a parking spot as the life guards were playing again and
taking all the parking spaces :(
After breakfast in the van with Mag,hoping for the wind to build abit,I
rigged the big freeride gear , the tide was low and only just turned so we
had wind against tide all day :) I was the first windsurfer out and reached
down to kite beach at The Ferry to sail with Rob (my kiter son) out with
his 13m and his new Naish twin tip !!! Had some great reaches along the
beach with waves one end and flat water the other :) After over an hour
doing this returned to the dip for lunch - thanks Neil Hurrell for making
it then out again,this time Rob was out on his Naish strapless surfboard
having fun :) but by this time the sea was like sailing through a ploughed
field because of the chop so beat up to the Manor ,approx. 4miles including
several beats a couple of mile offshore !!! then a really broad reach back
overtaking the yachts like they were standing still !!! So a 5 star day out
with Rob in the sunshine and several windsurfing mates only slightely
spoiled by the lumpy sea :( Now knackered and sunburnt and waiting for the
next windy spell :)
