metal_snapper1599968645 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 All depends on wind direction....with a NW I'd usually head for Brancaster as it would be cross on......rules for there: http://community.flexifoil.com/showthread.php?t=96006 It's just a few miles along the coast from Hunstanton......but you need to be a memember of the local club to use your bug on there. Ok for water stuff, just follow the guide in the link above. Thanks Two of us coming down see you there !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipstream1599968661 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Went to old Hunny. Had a blast was first on the water in marginal winds, soon picked up about midday then died of as you say about 2 ish still had a cracking 2 1/2 hr surf, was a long drive but worth it. 5mm wet suit, dry top, gloves and booties it is starting to warm up....slowly !!!!

It's a bit ridiculous but i probably know more of the crew around sauble beach in canada (dads old spot) than i do in my own country:o What u gonna be flying? Oh and as for temperature, as long as u got decent gloves a wetsuit is fine. I was out a few weeks back and was only my fingers that felt the cold. Was in a standard 5/3 nothing s****y. boots and hood tho!! Any of u guys on facebook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
