28th August 2012 Windsurfing: Hunstanton Wind Direction: SSW Wind Stength: 10-14 Surf / Sea State: Flatty Air Temperature: 21 Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 12.1 mph (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: Never been to Hunstanton before so was always gonna be good fun whatever happened. Left home at 6:30am and got there about 8:20am. Spent a while checkin it out then rigged me 6m storm. By this time tide was about halfway out and it was quite a long walk (compared to reservoir lol). And it was sandy too hurrah. Nice to see bogs and even a shower there, not to mention the reserved parking for windsurf/kitefurf - spot on. Didn't even have to pay parking cause some kitesurfer gave me his ticket (thanks mate!!). Onto the sailing. Nice and shallow, too shallow in places at low tide lol. Great for beach start practising and prob waterstart practise as well though I didn't try any waterstarts. When I first went out I was planing but then the wind seemed to drop then off to a bob around level. Mind you my kit wasn't set up right, was tryin different things with it just couldn't get it right didn't feel right. Must admit though it was nice to have fairly constant wind rather than gust/lull what I am used to. Left before the water came in to the groynes about 13:15. Good session, and it was free (apart from petrol). Prob worth the journey though instead of payin £15 locally at reservoir. Only give it 3 stars cause needed more wind. Got my top speed of the year 12.1mph. |
