Sunday 30th – Windsurf **** The Manor at Felixstowe – mainly sunny.

Foil – 19.13 knot max, 17.42 knot ave., 13.31 knot hour, 17.17 knot mile, 59.00 km., 12.97 knot alpha.

Starboard Freeride 150 and a Evolution Freeride foil with a Tushingham Bolt 6.50m.

Funny forecast today, a steady breeze of 15 to 20 knots starting westerly the turning to the south so eve though the wid was still light I headed down to Squiz Lane at The Manor end in Felixstowe at 9.30 as I would not get a parking spot! The wind was west pretty off but the sun was out so I set up my foil board with my 6.5 and hesded out, I did have two long flying runs before the wind turned sideshore and droped really light and getting back was a nightmare! I had my snack and was on the verge of packing up when local Al Wizz came up from his caravan and said the wind was going to build and he was about to set up his 130lt board with a 7.5. As if by magic the wind came so I headed out as high water was getting near and was soon up and flying doing really long runs out over 2.5 miles just brilliant, a real bonus. In the end I was out over two hours sailing well over 30 miles in the sunshine, it was harder after the tide turned but still did a top 17 downwind mile run and got back OK even if the wind went a little patchy so it was time to call it a day after another cracker at The Manor. Another breezy day tomorrow from the west so it will be Levington before my son Rob drives up for a visit with the grandson Arlo:)
