Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: 14/20 Surf / Sea State: flatish Air Temperature: 9 Sea Temperature: 9 Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 25.35 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 24.29 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
The wind continues to blow from the NE :) but with the best conditions in
the afternoon as the tide drops I was in no hurry to get down. Being a bit
windier than yesterday I loaded the 133, the 7.8 and 6.5 in the car and
headed down at about 1.30. I was surprised that Steve Carter was out on his
big board and 8.5 !!! so I rigged the 7.8 as yesterday and was better
powdered up this afternoon but never overpowered !!! I beat up to the River
Deben again in search of some flat water - I a little flat water but no
wind and a strong tide so I had a few runs the Bawdsey side of the shingle
bar which was good before heading out to sea and then playing in front of
kite beach and found some great flat water blasting with some cool gybing
right on the beach :) Young Tom out on his carve 133 and 7.5 was having fun
when his uj broke :( his life was saved by Ian Clarke when he sailed a uj
out to him and all getting back safely :) So a nice afternoon out enjoying
the flat water in golf beach and some interesting wavy conditions in the
river mouth even if a bit on the chilly side with my hands getting cold in
the end and some of the sailers still in hats !!!
