Saturday 13th April – Windsurf **** The Manor at Felixstowe – Sunny
periods and mild.

Starboard Freeride 150 and a Evolution Freeride foil with a Tushingham
Storm 6.5.
After yesterday mild 20 mile windsurf foil at The Manor end inn Felixstowe
it was more of the same today, with the wind there early I headed down to
Squiz Lane arriving around 9.30 as I thought I might have a problem parking
being the weekend, despite two camper vans being there I got in easily.
Things looked good, sunny with the sea fairly smooth and looked ideal for
6.5 which it was:) On the water for ten I Had several runs out to Wadgate
where I found a lovely patch to gybe in lovely flat water. At times the
wind was the minimum required for my 6.5 and I had to pump up a few times
but I had it all to myself until around midday when a couple of fin sailors
headed out! As it was marginal for the 6.5 I didn’t risk heading downwind
too far although I did have a long 2.50 mile run out to sea ending up down
by the pier. I had an easy beat back and was getting tired so after one
more run out to Wadgate I decided to call it a day, so 45 miles covered in
two sessions on the foil so not too bad. Home for lunch I found Mag
painting window sills, she loves a bit of DIY, she then headed up the town
giving me time to do my exercises in the sunny back garden, looks like
things are cooling off for a few days now!
