RS5 Loft Blade 8.6m  48cm fin  Lake Bonney 10-25knts

Could have gone out on smaller kit but there were just too many holes and it is 15deg c at the moment, good opportunity to get the new board tuned, played around with a few fins but just couldn't get the board to really free up and I had the mast base all the way back in the track to 125cm, came in and moved the track forward to the 135cm mark and the board just came to life.The angles I could get going upwind and speed  just blew me away...actually really enjoyed it, just locked in and away she went, I think a 43cm would be the ideal allrounder for this board.

Glad to see you having fun with your new stuff Choco. I had some fun with your old board yesterday and  remember last time I spoke to you  that  I'd use the 67 in 20-30knots, well who am I kidding!, as perhaps up to 20-25 might be the limit as she's really flighty and will take some getting use to. What fin did you prefer on that board Choco?

cheers Jeff.

Hey Jeff I used 36cm fin in the board, I thought it maybe be a handful in 30kntsWink but 15-25knts if flies
