Tinaroo 5.9. Loft 02 and 105l Screamer....Was not going to post this but I thought it may make someone else feel better, not being the slowest for today.

Went back down to dam about 2pm because there was wind about.     It was really howling so we rigged small 5.9m for Lyn and 7.0m for me.

Wind stopped but after waiting for a while I decided to go out and just have a wallow.      Started to get a few planing runs in which prompted Lyn to join me....Nothing much happened, and not really a LTD day.

iS76, 6.3 Loft Blade, 30 KA Sl - Lammermoor Beach, QLD, AU Wind SE 20 - 25kn

Woohoo wild conditions but managed to smash my open ocen Nm PB.

First time for the 6.3 Blade.  It was extremely testing and previously I would have had all sorts of trouble trying to hold it together in such lumpy conditions but somehow the Blade made it so much easier to navigate through the ocean.  It was a massive effort just concentrating for most runs and I ended up having to rest way too much as the arms and body just didn't want to play ball (Thats why my hour is crap).   My  nm was a real butt clencher and my arms and legs gave out at the end as the fin slipped with me having a massive get off.  Also very pleased that I pulled off 99% of my gybes which is very unusual in these conditions on this board (all I could put it down to was the Blade).

I never thought I'd ever break my 29kn NM record for here but somehow it happened.  Also broke my spot 5 x 10 sec PB and equalled my 2 sec peak.  Have to say the sail did have a major effect on the day's results. Absolutely stoked but my knees are telling me otherwise
