I woke with aching arms and knees after yesterday so I thought we could have breakfast at the cliff top then take a few pics of the windsurfers/kiters with my new camera as it was colder than yesterday and 40 mph winds were forecast !!!! but the wind was slighly off at the dip so Mag and I went to the manor but there was no windsurfers out.So a quick walk at Landguard by which time Steve C (Maker) had turned up so decided to go and get my gear.With wind readings on the beach of between 15 and 25 went for 6.6 infinity with the cams fitted on the Xantos.I thought that would be too big but proved good and had some fast runs in a sea flatter than the dip making this spot a better choice for slalom boards.I was going out to wadgate post(1 mile+) then decided to have abit of a downwinder to the Fludgers,sailing very broad I soon got there as the wind increased so more downhaul and a good beat back.So a good 2hrs 36 mins out averaging over 14 kts with several windsurfers out trying out the new beach - a nice spot and free parking with not too many fisherman today !!!
