Windsurfing: The Dip-Felixstowe Wind Direction: SW THEN WSW Wind Stength: V windy then light !!! Surf / Sea State: rough Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: 17 Weather: sunny periods Max Speed: 23.7 (knots - unless stated otherwise) Distance Covered: 3.60 (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
After missing yesterday afternoons good session I was at the dip at 4.30
and a couple of windsurfers were out at the ferry break but not going
brilliant close in because of the wind shadow with 4.7.As my 4.7 is being
repaired I dug out an old Airwaves 2 cam 5m slalom sail to give that a
try.After floundering off in the big break and light winds at the beach hit
the wind 50m out unfortunately there was never enough so after 1/2 doz
runs,one jump,three successful gybes and a brief spell of wave riding I
gave up !!! and joined the doz. or so wave heads on the beach(I have never
scene so many wavesailers at Felixstowe)I rigged 5.6 and waited awhile for
the wind to pick up and have a moan then packed up !!! The highlght of the
night was a lone kiter who launched somewhere at the Fludgers or beyond and
did a downwinder to the ferry with some pretty erratic kite flying as he
seemed a litte underpowered !!!!
ps.good newa my gps seems to have dried out and is working again !!!
