periods.

Starboard Freeride 150 and a Tushingham Bolt 7.5m.
Today’s forecast was marginal at best but with no wind for the next week
we decided to head over to Wrabness for the third time in a week! The wind
direction was north, a gusty direction and high tide at 4,30 we left
Felixstowe around midday and were surprised that there were no cars in Wall
Lane and parked easily. I set up the foil board and took it to the beach
and there looked like there might be enough wind for my 7.5, I usually
don’t like using sails bigger than 6.5 but needs must! I was first out on
the water and was later joined by several from upriver at Bradfield and the
wind was good to start and was soon up and flying, I did have several good
flying runs from Bradfield beach into the middle of Holbrook bay but the
wind was very up and down and holding onto a big rig when not hooked in and
flying played havoc with my poor old hands so not much fun. Then the wind
really dropped light as high water approached so I wobbled ashore to call
it a day, the highlight of the day was having a very late lunch with Mag in
the van who had been on her usual walk around the Nature Reserve, read and
dozed!
