Windsurfing: Felixstowe dip Wind Direction: ENE Wind Stength: 13-20kts Surf / Sea State: falet to bumpy Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: OK Weather: 20C Max Speed: 25.9 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 13 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
5***** and best sail of the year today ENE 13-20kts bumpy on the outer
flatter inner.
Rigged 7.2 Hellcat / Hawk 135 to try out performance.
Conditions were great, sunny and several out and sailed 5 – 7.30pm
Gybes were dire on the Hawk as went overpowered in the gust and pretty much
out of control on the turn
Switched to JP 120 Excite ride Pro edition / 7.2 Hellcat and that is one
fantastic board.
It carried my 105 hulk without much input to 25.9 on open sea, slightly
faster than the Hawk, but with superb control. Gybes great, only my
clumsiness let it down.
The JP is the best board I have owned and I have tried over 30 different
boards so far.
Went looking for flat water near the kiters, but was still bumpy, but
someone sailing in the river found some great flat water…next time!
Great sail….
