5th September 2015 Windsurfing: Bradfield Wind Direction: N/NW Wind Stength: 10-15kts Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: cool Sea Temperature: cool Weather: cloudy Max Speed: 24.73 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 9.4 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Pete and Jason got me on the field car park with a nice log over the big pothole, around 3pm to arrive to a full car park. Sailors and kites. Most sailors were on big kit, so rigged 8.6 Gaastra Savage set baggy / 146 JP excite ride pro, wind about 12kts. Just as I launch a nice 15kts gust came through and I had a barn stomping ride in both straps all the way past Wrabness down to Harkstead, at least a mile away absolute brilliant. Shame it was a close ish reach so the 22kt speed on the GPS was not great, the Harkstead had no wind so it was a slog back. Pete, Ian Squiz Colsely and Nick were all planning hard on the flat water and it was a nice day. Alas the wind was up and down so not classic. Stayed a couple of hours and close to high tide the wind died. My last run was on another gust following the crafty Pete who had 24kts on his GPS. He bore off on the gust completely broad to the Marina wall and the shallows and flat water to get another good GPS reading. Saw him just in time and hammered towards the shallows and grounding out badly, but hit 24.72 just pipping his 24.3. Lost some much ground I had to put a couple of beats in to get back. Thanks Ian for guiding me out of the field. 4 stars cos of the mud and poxy potholes |
