7th July 2016
Windsurfing: The Manor-Felixstowe
Wind Direction: s
Wind Stength: 12/16
Surf / Sea State: smooth
Air Temperature: 20
Sea Temperature:
Weather: sunny periods
Max Speed: 21.13 (knots - unless stated otherwise)

The wind forecast is for Fri,Sat and Sun but the breeze filled in after dinner which suited me fine as I just finished cleaning the windows!

The tide was high so I headed down to The Manor where I got gusts to 20 mph so rigged 7.8 on the 133 but it was way under and it was a job keeping upwind and I lost four goynes the first run out. I changed to my bigger board which was marginally better and I got a couple of gusts breaking 20kts just. I struggled on for nearly two hours before it dropped off, a couple of other windsurfers launched nearby and then lost loads downwind heading off towards the pier,they could have had a long walk back!

Lets hope we get more wind tomorrow!

PS - am really missing my Tushingham Lightning 8.5 and am looking for another.
