Southend day 2, met up with Simon and Matt, we waited a few hours till 9.30 and it was still only 15 knots of wind SSW.

Decided to go out on slalom kit and could'nt get going on that for a while, then the wind picked up a bit and for the last hour it was nuking, speed board and 5.4 would of been perfect.....very frustrating but still a good sail.

Started off crap, nothing felt right, tweaked a bit, still didnt feel right. Wind dropped so I changed up from my 6.6 to my 7.3 and RS4, had a few runs with that and the wind picked back up so stuck the 7.3 on the RS2! I love it! Best ever gybe by a long way and just felt so stable and in control.

tested the isonic 107 all day, feels quite big and I imagine will fly with 8.0m ish sail.

Accelerated and Held its speed well but maybe not too good for peak speeds, still pleased with the average for a board of this size and a dozen plus 23k alphas so altogether a great afternoon in the sunshine.

Sorry about the mile Ian.

Nice Pb alpha bus.

Must Get Fit!!

First time out on the 5.2m X-15..and it coped very well with the gusty conditions.  Although the wind was patchy, the sun was out, my hands stayed warm..and also managed best Vmax and average speeds for 2012! Great!!
