3rd August 2014 Windsurfing: Felixstowe Dip Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: 15kts Surf / Sea State: Chop / Flat Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: sunny Max Speed: 25.72 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 8.3 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Shoot the wind forecastors who said the wind would be afternoon! Had to be home at 3pm so thought I wouldn't sail but wind kicked in 11am and am faffing doing chores. Dropped everything and on arrival yep, Coles Mexome Squiz Roger and a few others were ripping it great conditions. Rigged 6.7M / 120 JP excite ride pro and yep the wind dropped be4 I got on the board. Rigged 7.7 Pryde Hellcat / 146L JP EX R pro and had a great session for an hour then the poxy wind died. Runs were much better than yesterday as it was easy to stay high. Loads out sailing, tide was low coming in, plenty of sun, so would have been nice to stay longer. Yet again I loaded the 50cm MFC race fin which just didn't perform on the broad reaches. After fitting the 48cm to try wind died and ran out of time. Now using the waist harness for every sail bar the 8.7 / 9.4 and today hit 25.72 kts in rough water so happy my arms could lockdown. That's the negative I think of the waist H you really have to hang out to lock down, but its great going thru the river mouth standing up and am sure its why my gybe percentage is very high. Today I pulled off 2 flat out strap to strap planning gybes on the big 146 which normally lose speed badly. Went back for a walk with family and Ian who arrived late was bleeding the wind dry with some good runs alone, tanking down to the river mouth |
