Windsurfing: Felixstowe Dip Wind Direction: NE Wind Stength: F2 - F4 Surf / Sea State: Lumpy Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: Sunny Max Speed: 20.5 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 11.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Missed the action on Thursday which was a good 6.5m weather and reasonable
sea, so didn't want to miss Friday. Unfortunately couldn't get there until
2pm when most was packing up and tide coming in quick, the wind eased! All
were on big kit 8m+ for big guys, sea looked OK and the carpark was
full.
Rigged 8.5M Goya Mark and 135 Bolt, but alas I didn't really fire up as the
wind fluctuated between a F3/F4 so kept dropping off the plane. The tide
was pushing downwind so all had to keep a tight reach to return to base.
Swainey tried my Bolt, liked it, so he bought one!
Really I should have rigged 9.2 / 147L Ultrasonic. Switch boards and had
another little nice ride but by 6 the wind was dropping badly. Others had a
good day, and Chippie milked it till 7pm. Normally I dont like the dip at
high tide but it was OK today. Not much mileage though.
All my boards now av all the Fstraps inwards for comfort, sacrificing some
speed, but the extra comfort is definitely worth it, but had to shorten the
harness lines.
