16th April 2013 Windsurfing: Felixstowe dip Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 15/20kts Surf / Sea State: flat to swell Air Temperature: 14C Sea Temperature: cold Weather: sunnyish Max Speed: 25.2 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 1hr 20 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) 5***** day at Felistowe dip. Arrived 4pm and Daz was leaving while Phil was packing up having had a good day. Wind was 15 to 20kts sea was flattish on the inside with big swells near the river channel marker and the sun came out! It was nippy though. Ali was out on the water, but packed up be4 I hit the water, so quickly rig my all time favourite sail 7.2 Neil Pryde Hellcat with my first ride on my 146L excite ride. Hit the water for about a 1hr 20 in 3 stints and had a great session. The wind was perfect and constant, and although wind with tide, staying up was easy. The 50cm fin was too big so had a some control probs (meant to fit 46cm) The swell was perfect riding in and got my speed run (25.2kts) in early, so from then had a great relax in / out cruising. Thoroughly recommend JP Excite ride 146L pro, very smooth ride, similar to Tabou Rocket but more controlled and smoother in the gybe. Could have switched to 120L version but time was against that. Dropped 4/5 gybes as switched back to old school to boom to boom and yep finger got cold water starting, but with hat and steamer it was OK. As I was on my own I went for the last run when the wind eased and switch to slightly off. Only 2 kiters turned up late, so decided against the bad luck last run! Sauna / steam / Jacuzzi afterwards warmed the blood added the fifth star! Top evening. |
