Wednesday 28th September - Windsurf ** - River Orwell at Levington – sunny periods.

Foil – 18.80 knot max, 17.73 knot ave ., 8.02 knot hour, 13.67 knot mile, 23.89 km ., 15.10 knot alpha.

Starboard Freeride 150 and an Evolution Freeride foil with a Sailworks Retro 7.5.


I was not going to go today, lovely sunny morning but the wind did look very marginal so did my exercises in the sunshine:) Exercises finished around 11.30 I checked Landguard weather station and it was gusting to 17 knots and being sunny I decided to head over to Levington Marina once again to check out the conditions? There was loads of water on the Orwell so I quickly set up my foil broad, thee was some white water on the far side and nearly rigged 6. But it dropped so went with 7. Which proved OK until the wind dropped at high water! In the end I had nearly two hours with some OK runs with gybing the bigger sail also improving. With the wind falling light it was time to call it a day and I made it to the shower as the heavy rain arrived. Some bad news the lovely showers had no hot water, then home for 3 before a quick tip to Lidl!
