Windsurfing: Felixstowe dip Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 15-18kts Surf / Sea State: Bumpy choppy Air Temperature: cool Sea Temperature: cool Weather: cool / cloudy Max Speed: 23.99 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 12.3 nm (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Forecasts was about right even though the place looked dire and uninvitng
with rain when I arrived about 10 hoping to beat high tide. NE wind was
cold, but DC went out on 7.8, Rog 7.5 so rigged 7.7 Hellcat / 146 JP pro XC
ride. Tried to get a early GPS run in - lost shed loads down wind, so gave
that up after clocking only 23.99kts with a 50cm fin (wrong choice)
I was uncomfortable in the whole session -in the rough sea and never got
set.
DC, Swainey Ian Rog was going OK, Steve was under on 7.0M. Kept falling off
on the outside, dont know why, harness lines weren't right and my **cking
Indestructible North I tendon broke when a flimsy 6mm screw in the tendon
pulled itself thru - **cking long swim, thanks Ian Swainey and Rog for the
rescue. Changed to North gear for quality.........
Windsurfing def need sun
