Rsole,s way to broad with  short sharp rolling chop ,was way short on confidence today so very conservitive given previous experience here,

great sail non the less with JJ Lao and the slow one

mistral 47 E5 5.8 various fins

Melville Beach, WA, AU

Was cranking when i arrived - guys on 4.0 wave sails so i rigged the 5.8. Dropped out to 10kn as i buckled up my harness then came and went for the rest of the arvo. Choppy and gusty as hell but a nice little session up to dark nonetheless.

Combo was not quite right to start but got it tuned towards the end. A good few out given the ugly conditions.

aaaahhhhgggrsoles with JN JJ and Mark. As said in other posts, wind was wrong direction and pretty much cross shore over most of the bank. Was honking on the far side with some solid gusts. Did a loaded trolley mission expecting the wind to be inconsistent so mostly used 6.4m, Mistral SP95 and CL26 slalom fin. I also rigged the 5.0m with SP63 and a 20cm carbon asy. Fastest run was during a very short wind swing at the end of a rain squall on the small setup. The other best runs were all done on the big board (43 max). Stoked to get out on small stuff again. Shame the wind didnt play with a good angle for the first-timers there. But it still had its moments (getting well loaded on 5.0m in some gusts on the other side of the lake).
