Saturday 26th November - Windsurf * River Orwell at Levington – sunny
periods.
Foil – 18.70 knot max, 17.46 knot ave., 2.16 knot hour, 3.69 knot mile,
15.53 km., 14.72 knot alpha.
Starboard Freeride 150 and a Evolution Freeride foil with a Tushingham
Thunderbird 6.5.
With next week getting colder with light winds I was keen to get out today
to hopefully make the most of forecast southerly breeze building all day
with the rain not arriving until dark. The wind was slow to build but at
around 10.30 it started to rise tempting me to drive over to Levington to
check things out. There was loads of water but the breeze was light and
gusty so I set up my foil and put my wetsuit on hoping the wind would
build. I then made a rocky error I rigged for the forecast wind rather than
what I had so sadly my 6.5 was way to small apart from the odd gust :( I
spent a couple of hours floundering about waiting for a gust and was
actually amazed I broke 18 knot max with a 17 knot average, the highlight
of the session was spotting a seal and the hot shower after!
