First time out on my new CA SP50 wind was around 10-18knots so i rigged my 7.5m Loft Blade,should have purchased this board years ago it's sweet as.Conditions were very gusty and there was alot of swimming involved at times there was no wind at all, the 7.5m felt very comfortable on the SP50, looking forward to some stronger wind,the lake is the lowest i have ever seen it and my wetsuit was covered in a fine green algae

After work session at goolwa alpha channel.  1st time on new jp slalom iv 54 with 6.2m loft blade and 29cm sl7.  Great board - can't believe how smooth it is through the water and how easy it planes for such a small board.

Goolwa alpha channel - 12 - 17 knot south westerly.

Great fun session at Goolwa 12-17 at times.

Checked out Anthony's new Evo2's - they look sweet.  Parted with my beloved JP70 - went to a good home though and Sam was chuffed.  Look out alpha records!

Hour had a change of boards and NM had a gybe.

Started on JP Slalom IV68 - SL739 - RSR7.8

Finished on JP Slalom V60 - Evo37 - RSR7.8

Caveman slalom board, 07 KA Concept 7.5, 36 cm Select S-Ride fin.

A few runs at the end of the day after waiting for the forecast 18-23 k to arrive :-(  Probably 12-17 k on the water when I sailed 4pm to 6pm.  Nothing outstanding to report.  A lot of chop and slop.  Mostly getting used to this sail - a bit of tweaking between runs.  Sizing up this kit for a run to Glenelg and back.   I wonder how the boys went down at Goolwa?

Hey Choco, you should come up to green island in june, no algae up here, and board short temps.

Good to see your back in to the SA water.
