Windsurfing: Felixstowe Dip Wind Direction: ENE Wind Stength: F3 Surf / Sea State: Moderate Air Temperature: cool Sea Temperature: cool Weather: Dull cloudy Max Speed: 16.4 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 5.4 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
2nd session this year and wind teased at around 10kts with gusts of 12kts.
Out was the Craig/Neil and they were planning the hour I was there. Rog
packed up and Andy had gone. Dave C turned up rigged 10.5/Formula and was
flying all over the place - def formula conditions. Rigged 145/9.2 GA
Phantom. Nice sail, but rigging it to manufacturer settings with my weight
wasn't planing. Letting everything off, it started planning when against
tide towards kite zone. Nice workout (1245 cals) but hard work as only
planning on off. Both Craig and Neil peed pass me a few times which was
very frustrating. Both said Manor end was breezier. Couldn't get in straps
sailing with tide. GA Phantom light wind set is heavy in the hand and a
little uncomfortable. Def needs around 12kts. Fell in a few times gybing in
the light wind, so glad was in winter suit. I have a top Pryde steamer but
the neck - like all current necks lets water. They are way too short. Still
not happy with light wind kit in 10kts.
