7th June 2013 Windsurfing: Felixstowe dip Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: F5 Surf / Sea State: flat to swell Air Temperature: warmish Sea Temperature: cool Weather: fine Max Speed: 26.04 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 15.79 nm (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) 5th consecutive day we had F5 at Felixstowe from the North East, using either 6.5 or 7.5. Arrived 4.0pm yet again rigged 6.7 H2 / 120L Excite ride Pro driven by 44cm MFC Liquid pro fin. Not impressed with the MFC Freeride fins really as they spin out when you ask the questions… The sea was bumpy at the inside then flat for a 100M then huge waves going thru the river mouth out to Bawdsey side. Several sailors out enjoying the conditions, although bumpy at times on the low tide, it was controllable. The wind increased by 5.30 so had to fin down and downhaul/outhaul to stay on 6.7. Went over to the speed strip side, but turned back before as the sea was too messy there and wasn’t for me. Went back to the dip and played with Neil and co. Great evening riding off big swells cracked several planing gybes on them. Wind eased by 6.30 again, but totally knackered after covering 15.79nm top speed on the open sea 26.04 kts The North shoxs extension again took the sting out of the bumps on the inside. Weird sensation though as the suspension was bottoming out as hitting the bumps at speed was too much for it. I guess another 12mm resistance travel would be better for heavy guys as I lost control when the nose recoiled after bottoming out, and went flying over the top! Finished off the evening with sauna, chicken jalfrezzi and beer…it don’t get any better. Roll on Saturday…. |
