5th October 2019 Windsurfing: Bradfield Wind Direction: SE Wind Stength: 8kts Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: warm Sea Temperature: warm Weather: Sunny / cloud Max Speed: 5.2 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 5 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) The light wind forecast should have stopped me making the trip to Bradfield but, thought maybe a sea breeze funnelling down the river might do the trick. Also prob cant sail Sunday, which has a windy forecast. Jason and Nick turned up, but water was a long way out so plenty o time for a chat. After 30 mins fin boy Jay went whilst foilers Nick and me waited. It was still 8kts, with little 10 gusts. Was hoping to try out my new acquisition a Slingshot V3 FWind foil on a dedicated Exocet RF-91 board. Rigged a 9.2 Phantom, whilst Nick using a 4K valued Patrik air formula board, linked to a 9.4 Severne race sail. Clouds were coming over so we were hoping for good gusts but nothing. Neither of us got anywhere near a flight. I covered 5nm but Nick didn't bother, just went out and straight back saying we need at least 3 kts more. Shame as the day was warm. Nick spent time fine tuning his kit and at least I think I assembled the Slingshot correctly. Didn't fly at all and all foils feel the same when stuck in the water. All was not lost, as I left Nick de-rigging and faffing in the dark whilst I shot off for a decent steam / sauna session, just in time before the spa closed. |
