Windsurfing: The Manor-Felixstowe Wind Direction: se Wind Stength: 10 Surf / Sea State: slight Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 18 Weather: cloudy with rain Max Speed: 17.4 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 6.2 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
I had the chance to borrow a friends 10.9 rig with my long board and try it
against a mate on his formula board with 10.5,with the wind light and
onshore it was good accept the sea was abit lumpy.First off the rig was
very heavy and not enough to get the heavier longboard going, only making
14 kts while the formula planed away at 20 kts.All in all a very
uncomfortable trip to the Ferry and when I dropped the rig it was very
difficult to uphaul!!!!
Back at the beach I had ago with the formula board and decided I don't
think it's for me as it was very difficult to bear off !!!!
