Bonbeach, VIC, AU, Late morning session with Seb in a NNE. Wind was building up ok further out around 10:30am. Rigged big and took the barge but changed to the Rocket after 5 runs. Good combination until the wind picked up more and I was way overpowered. Downsized to the Hellcat and had another hour great fun playing with the waves building. It was all over at 2pm when the front came through and I had to pack up in pouring rain. Well at least the kit got a good rinse.

Sluggish start, but quickly turned out to be a great session at Bonno with JAK. Pretty consistent wind for a northerly. Totally maxed out in the strongest gusts, but the Remedy is awesome Smile. Derigged in time before the rainstorm...

Hey JAK, I was wondering whether you had a good "shower" when droving home through the heavy rain. Ah well you were already wet anyway Wink. I think we timed it perfectly Smile.

Agree timing was good Seb, good speed results you had there. You timed the gusts perfectly. Friday looks like a possibility again, some of the forecasts suggest a strong W, perhaps at Rickets??

Good speeds & alpha's guys - well done. Looks like I'm out for a while, ankle worse than first thought! Cry

Well done guys.

So Evan what have you done to your ankle? More than a twist?

Nothing serious I'm hoping but it sure has "puffed up" since Sunday. Little easier to walk on today.

Evan, I hope your ankle gets better quickly! Give it plenty of rest and get it checked out by a doctor, if it doesn't get better quickly. Tendon injuries in the ankles were my speciality...

JAK, strong W at Ricketts sounds awesome, but I probably can't make Friday due to a Christmas party... Looking forward to Sunday.
