9th October 2011
Windsurfing: Felixstowe Manor
Wind Direction: WSW
Wind Stength: F2 to F5
Surf / Sea State: flat
Air Temperature: warm
Sea Temperature: warm
Weather: sunny
Max Speed: 20.1 (knots - unless stated otherwise)
Distance Covered: 8.5 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)

Waited till about 2.0 and the wind filled in WSW 14kts. 9.5M / Phantom, the first 1/2hr but the wind got up on the outer, so I was way over and got extremely tired. Maker and Mark out
Flattened the gear and more downhaul, and tried for a beat to the dock, but again too much wind. stayed with the boys reaching in and out in the backstrap as the water was flat, till the wind went back off.
Pushed the Phantom to 20kts in 15kts, but couldn't quite get the fast angles right. The GT31 replay, showed I should have reached slightly broader, as the 20kts was the broadest run. I was a bit low in the water so higher boom, broadr might get me more speed
warm great
