19th December 2015 Windsurfing: Felixstowe Dip Wind Direction: SW Wind Stength: F3-5 Surf / Sea State: Lumpy Air Temperature: cool Sea Temperature: cold Weather: ok Max Speed: mid 20's Distance Covered: This was my first proper sail since Oct. Air temp was good for Dec, good forecast brought a big turn out and as usual the wind didn't show as forecast, but it was sailable. Light on the inside but wind further out. Some were crawling out on 7.5 so started to rig 8.5 but as always a stiff breeze started so yet again had to rig another sail 7.8. Most were sailing well and had a crawling run out to the wind band which was OK. I lost my GPS and its amazing how soon I lost interest without one. Had a couple of nice starting gybes but it was downhill after that falling in on the inside. To find smaller swells for gybing I was having to go pretty far out of the river mouth, so always felt nervous. The day was up and down. I went overpowered and fell on my board holing it so called it a day. I was never comfortable even after tweaking, don't know why, maybe the cold, not sure why but needed hat and gloves. Ha a couple off burn ups with Lee, which was nice, so shame no GPS. OK sail for Dec. My north shoxs extension kept bottoming out slamming the boards around so there was some big swells further out. Harness lines were never right and the sail was backhanded so not a great sail. |
