2nd April 2011 Windsurfing: levington Wind Direction: ssw Wind Stength: 10-12 kts Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: ok Weather: fine Max Speed: guess 15kt Distance Covered: 1 hour (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Went to manor and dip about 11 ish (saw squiz van) but only 6kts at both. On the way home I checked out levington and was surprised – 12-14kts onshore A guy was packing up a 5m / wave board – said the wind dropped! I didn’t want to sail alone but after a text from Ian in Felixstowe, we were rigging about 1 ish in 12kts high tide. Rigged 9.4 Tushy XR race for the first time (need to sus set up) with my F2 380 longbd, and had a good sail, although only an hour, then the wind dropped and water getting low. Ian was having some runs on his newly acquired Isonic, but lost time fixing a boom end. Ian now you have a Isonic and Lboard you need a 7.5M Lwind cut sail, loads on eBay, then u will plane in 8kts. Just wished I had gone Levington at 10. It was warm, love the board on flat water and plane easily in 10kts which is great. I thought selling my 9.8 Pryde may have been a bad call, but the 9.4 Tushy XR does perform if set baggy in Lwind. The adjustable outhaul cause grief and needs tweaking, as it jammed everytime to windward, but it’s a nice setup to go cruising. Weeks on the rower and bike paid off as the big sail felt light and no back pain. In 10-12kts on full plate, the F2 caught me out and flipped twice! Wicked naughty board, have to eBay now for boom and mast foot protectors Mind you I won’t be doing squiz epic runs, as gear failure is too worrying. Happy to just go a little way as wifey don’t drive Forgot to charge GPS……but ended the day sauna steam jacu…….nice |
