Wednesday 11th May - Windsurf *** The Manor, Felixstowe – cloudy with
light rain.
Fin – 25.50 knot max, 23.61 knot ave., 11.45 knot hour, 20.74 knot mile
(year PB), 51.89 km., 14.41 knot alpha.
F2 282 Ride with Tushingham Vulcan 6m and Thunderbird 6.5m and 36 fin.
Another breezy day sadly it was cloudy with some light rain but with the
wind not picking up to around 11 I had time to do my exercises before
heading down to Squiz Lane at The Manor. It was definitely strong enough to
shortboard so put the F2 Ride 282, 115 lt. on the beach and took a chance
with my 6m. After one long run out, I was little under so came back and
rigged my 6.5 which was fine for an hour, doing long runs out to Wadegate
Post but the sea was horrendously lumpy making going fast challenging at
best! Even though it was wind with tide I had no problem staying upwind and
with the wind building to around 25 knots I came ashore to swop back to my
6m and had a yummy egg sandwich Mag made yesterday:) I then had over an
hour on the 6m trying for some fast mile runs but that really hurt my back
leg but still managed a year PB of only 20.74 and got a couple of runs over
25 knots which is as good as I could manage in the lumpy sea. So, an OK
session, nice to be out on a shortboard covering 32 miles, some sunshine
and a smoother sea would have been nice but this is Felixstowe we are
talking about! Have now covered 85 miles on a fin in 3 sessions over the
last four days hopefully a day off tomorrow and out again on Friday:)
PS - another good day for my pics with two more in the local paper:)
